Despite its unsure goals, \u201chandcrafted\u201d seemed to be the the buzzword to end them all, having been forged from the embers of \u201call natural,\u201d \u201corganic\u201d and \u201clocally farmed.\u201d Yet its evolution was imminent&#8212;and, so, what next?<\/p>\n<p>Today this blog boldly predicts the rise of the locally made, <em>negligibly profitable<\/em> food and drink. Which finally brings us to today\u2019s topic: beer! It seems simple craft brews have stopped being the ultimate sign of great beer connoisseurship, replaced by an increasingly tumescent tide of nano breweries. The nano brewery, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2013\/07\/17\/dining\/breweries-not-too-big-for-their-barrels.html?partner=rss&amp;emc=rss&amp;_r=2&amp; \">as reported in the New York Times<\/a>, is usually a pimped out homebrew operation, producing only several barrels at a time and selling to a few local establishments or literally out of their own houses to thirsty passerby, the grownup incarnation of a lemonade stand. <\/p>\n<p>At any rate, the brewmasterlets behind the new nano breweries are so totally passionate about their pimped out hobby that they accept they\u2019ll make little to no profit. Thus we take note of the following brews, hoping that they\u2019ll consider making the label &#8220;negligibly profitable&#8221; popular on their bottles, so this blog can be like \u201cyeah! That was all us.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>1. Barrage Brewing<\/strong>: <em>McLaughlin&#8217;s Folly: Oatmeal Raisin and Vanilla Stout<\/em><br \/>\n\u201cA barrage is defined as an overwhelming, concentrated outpouring of\u2026 let&#8217;s say beer.\u201d The brewmaster behind Barrage has spent over 20 years refining a few recipes, and now has a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.kickstarter.com\/projects\/464192469\/barrage-brewing-co-lets-get-the-doors-open \">Kickstarter campaign<\/a> on to take his operation nano. Once funded&#8212;and let\u2019s all pray it is funded&#8230;or just donate if you aren\u2019t into praying&#8212;you\u2019ll be able to take the old growler(s) onsite to fill up, making Barrage one of the surest bets on this list for actually obtaining great event beer.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/cms.peatix.com\/images\/blog\/035b24427c1529cd3aca7fb3bd1b3157_large.jpg\" alt=\"Barrage brewing nanobrewery\" height=\"839\" width=\"630\"  \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>2. Alphabet City Brewing Co<\/strong>.: <em>Easy Blonde Ale<\/em><br \/>\nA brewing company that has gone all craft-corporate, Alphabet City produces an almost appalling 14 barrels at a time. Still, their Easy Blonde Ale is said to be straight up delish, owing to the brewers\u2019 goals of creating a beer \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/eastvillage.thelocal.nytimes.com\/2012\/07\/24\/alphabet-city-brewering-company-plots-beer-garden\/ \">people would want to drink all day long<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>3.

Located on the upper east side of Manhattan, their recipes provide subtle notes of actual coolness to balance out the overpowering lameness of much of that area.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/cms.peatix.com\/images\/blog\/Yeast_cycle.jpg\" alt=\"Br\u00e4hery yeast cycle\" height=\"799\" width=\"630\"  \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>4.
