Game fest maybe is one thing, but I feel like a live industry award show, a la the Oscars, should have some staying power… given that the members of said industry continue to feel like it means something to accept those awards. But it feels like we’re already at that point.

For me, the one strong beer is too much anymore.

I used to like the higher ABV beers, imperial stouts, etc more, but even just one of those is just… too much. Especially getting a full pint.

For that reason I don’t mind that the high ABV options are getting toned down. This might be a case of economics and preferences moving parallel to each other.
