I bet it required a lot of research at several local taverns.

I’m not opposed to this kind of research. Something interesting may come out of it. But, the only brewers I can imagine using this information would be the large mass-market beers that are mostly crap.

This feels like min-maxing the marketing of beer. It has fuck-all to do with the essential things about beer—taste and alcohol—and only serves to make something pretty in an ad.

That's just because getting you to buy it is more important than having you enjoy it.

there is some value in me enjoing it. If alI really like it I might buy it again.

Right. This seems like it ignores repeat purchases as their biggest moneymaker by far.
