There's been talk on the internet about craft beer running out of steam. Of enthusiasm lost and an ageing group of enthusiasts. As an early CAMRA member, I say welcome to the club.
There are so many parallels with the real ale movement. Kicking off with, mostly, very excited young people who want to change the (beer) world. Slow beginnings, followed by intoxicating, seemingly never-ending, growth.

And so it endlessly goes.
