He wants it to be what it used to be. The truth is.. In food, clothing, cars, boats , etc and beer... Styles and tastes change over time. Sam Adams lager was when it came out a great alternative. It's been left behind with the evolution of high end craft beer.

He needs to come out with a hop monster of an IPA...

I don't think that's the problem. Koch's big issue is that there are 10 times the number of breweries now than when he started.

There's nothing noteworthy he can do that dozens of other breweries can't do just as well and at a similar price point.

That's quite true.

BA score of 89 for a DIPA does nothing for me unless it's the only one on tap. More of the same (lots of new stuff that do not impress), but he is still making the $$$.

Oct 2014 $220, today $320, Nov 1995 $28...me thinks he's got nothing to complain about today. Maybe it is time for the Rochambeau.
