Beer and mountain biking have a connection here also. But more so between x-country skiing and beer in the winter. Although, there are quite a few fat tire bikes at the local brewery in the winter also.

In my area there are tons of craft breweries. They have gotten together and formed a sort of craft brewers association which has turned into a soap opera of who is and is not a craft brewer, voting various breweries out if they are deemed "too commercial" or "too mainstream". They are eating their young, it's entertaining to watch but they are acting like a bunch of douche bags.

Anyhow...wine is dead. Craft beer is king now in the USA. I used to drink wine by the gallon...haven't had a glass in a couple years.
