My two cents - a lot of "crappy" beers are honestly pretty good, and a lot of trendy Hazy SpaceDust Double IPAs or Coffee Imperial Stouts brewed in Bourbon Casks just suck.

A simple Hamm's, Miller High Life, Modelo Negra, or Coors Banquet is pretty tastey, inoffensive, and great bang for your buck.

Also, a lot of beer snobbyists have now transitioned into Bourbon (f** taters for making it impossible to get Buffalo Trace at an affordable price), so that's also playing a role

The article is not referencing "demand for crappy beer", but rather "crappy demand for beer".

Compound adjectives are not great in article titles.

It's kinda both. From the article:

> That explains why the “below premium” segment was the only one to see an increase in demand in January compared to January 2022, according to the National Beer Wholesalers Association’s Beer Purchasers’ Index.

Whoops my bad. I thought I saw crappy beer when I posted. Still stand by my sentiments thought.

I almost commented solely about the headline, but resisted. Indeed, while the article title is correct, hyphenation usage is so spotty among regular people that the chance of misreading the title is too high.
