Who is thriving in this economy? And let’s go over your beer lesson. A microbrewery is a place that manufactures beer for selling mostly off premises. Richbrau was a brew pub, meaning its focus was in house sale and consumption of beer. If you want to get into semantics about the business practices and the lack of advertising over the last decade from Richbrau then that is a different case altogether since in my opinion that was one of the biggest mistakes made at that restaurant.

“I guess that depends on your definition of “a lot”.”

a lot- Very many, a large number; also, very much. For example, A lot of people think the economy is declining.

And the poor service and bad dining experience was a shame as there were people who worked there that had no heart for the job and shouldn’t have been there in the first place but there were also employees there who did enjoy their job and were more than happy to create a memorable experience for the customer.

Point of all of this being, if you want to insult a place, direct it to the person in charge. Don’t generalize as there were many people who worked there that were forced to do things a certain way and had no voice in the practices of the owner.

Then why is nearly every other microbrewery in the country thriving?

“A lot of people enjoyed the beer”

I guess that depends on your definition of “a lot”.

Technically you can. Bad times leads to less spending and alternate ingredients. Different ingredients produce a different taste as ‘Craft Beer’ advocates (like yourself) I assume already know. A lot of people enjoyed the beer, I’m sorry you did not. Feel free to spend time at the plethora of other microbreweries around richmond. Oh wait, I forgot, that variety no longer exists. Enjoy the one thats left. Long live your watered down corporate beer, I’m sure your support is greatly desired.
