Does it really matter what color I am? According to you, anyone who doesn’t make it in this country is lazy. Yes, that is what your comment implied. I simply reminded you that not everyone had it as easy as you. Believe it or not, many people would have traded your government cheese life for their own situation. You had it good as a child, you had a roof. Go out and find some empathy.

If you’re familiar with craft beer at all, runamok is like magic hat. Seems like a craft micro brew to outsiders but is actually a huge commercial operation that’s more about scale and product diversity than quality IMO.

If you want small maker syrup but from a big company look up Butternut Mountain. They are a wholesaler and buy syrup from hundreds of small operations and then act as distributor. They buy the syrup from the guy who taps my trees.

Also /r/maplesyrup

The way this guy talks to people in his other comments I read… he seems to like to think everyone else is an idiot and that he knows best because he is a professional. I don’t think anyone can convince him to think imaginatively when it comes to others, or jump into someone else’s shoes to consider things from others’ perspective. What kind of planning can you even do around here?!? He won’t even tell us!!!

Instead of teaching people about what he knows in a kind way, he just sounds angry. I hope he’s ok…but I think it’s pointless for anyone to keep talking to him.

If it's 100% maple syrup there isn't much variation between sugar houses (ones producing syrup at scale anyway). People have their brands they like but the vast majority of the difference is in what people are familiar with.

The actual differences in syrup come from how dark or light the syrup is. This is just due to changes throughout the season and all sugarhouses will make the whole spectrum of color syrup throughout the season.

Darker syrup tends to sit on top of a pancake and not really soak into it while lighter syrup will soak into the pancake like a sponge. It's all personal preference. Personally I like the darker syrup for pancakes and lighter syrup for cooking.
