Beers People Aren’t Drinking

I’m a firm believer in allowing people to drink what they like.  End of story.  BUT… in the ever emerging world of beer, some sales grow, while others decline.  247WallSt did a little research on what beers/brewers were on the losing end in the beer world.  You might beer surprised, but you might not.  Read the full article for descriptions of each.
