Interesting, but completely misses a salient meeting of brewing and technology: specifically AB, money, and the refrigerated rail car. The ability to move chilled product in ice cooled cars filled by ice plants along the route, crewed by thirsty ice factory workers (among others of course) means fresh product at a massed production price distributed as far as the line would go. Its a classic mass production meets technology meets capitol success story. Sort of....I won't drink it either. But there has never been a better time to be alive as a beer drinker. Perhaps those are really two separate statements. There has never been a better time to be alive. And a beer drinker!
