Greg Koch of Stone Brewing left a comment on the post where I knocked on him saying that when he got the video of his speech up people could judge for themselves. While I still disagree with many of the things in Greg’s speech, and still dislike his judgements on consumers, I do have more respect for him. Like he says in the beginning, if two people in business agree then that’s one to many. I hope one day he may come around to accepting that his idea of exceptional isn’t everyone else’s, but I now better understand where he was coming from with his speech. Give his speech a watch, it’s about 46 min.

I was going to post this on your original open letter, but it’s old so I’ll put it here:
I like good beer AND deep fried cheese sticks, and because of Mr. Koch I feel like a man without a country.
I’ll probably listen to this thing at some point and comment for realsies.
Too long.
Dollar to a Pilsner: nobody watches this.
I watched it…… 😉
