I think hipsters believe that the craft beer phase will come to a end,and people will return to drinking more traditional beers. I think they turn to some of the older brews that have been around a long time,I have noticed. Some of the beers they had listed,my grandma drank while i was growing up,like Genesee Creame Ale and I tasted it also. Another one they mentioned was Olympia beer,which I remember drinking as well. ln one of the Friday The 13th movies, I remember a Olympia beer truck,parked outside a small country store and a guy buying and drinking this beer from a can.
Haven't heard the word craft beer in a while, so I think hipsters are coming around to start drinking it, haha. Some of the hipsters I know still use those hats with two beer cans, which is funny to me.
I just always imagine that they dink whatever they think is cool, and at some point in time I am sure it was the craft beers. I am not sure about now though.
