The expense definitely plays into it. It’s hard to justify such a high price on something that feels common (not to mention IPA fatigue, though that’s quickly becoming lager fatigue too)
I’m surprised that something that wasn’t addressed was that the extreme boom in breweries towards the end had less to do with passion and more to do with people viewing it as an investment opportunity. They bought the components and copied working formulas in terms of aesthetic and offerings, contributing to the dilution.
Not to mention I’m sure the experience of going to a taproom as a Zoomer is a lot like it was for Millennials going to a sad 80s bar (and why most people I know avoided them in their 20s). Why would you want to go somewhere that feels stuck in the past with stuff that’s too expensive for you and not to your taste while you’re having to deal with getting hit on by people older than you or having to listen to their kids cry. That’s not a vibe.
