I think another issue is the pressure to differentiate on novelty because there's so much competition these days. First it was the cross style beers, now it's the collaborations. So let's just mix my DIPA with your DIPA can it and charge 50% more. Or we could add some Andean lichen and charge even more.
The VT brewers were insulated from a lot of this with their limited reach and willingness to keep things small...but that is changing. Will be interested to see who can keep it together.
