American Craft Beer Week








Next week is American Craft Beer Week, a celebration of beer as both an expression of art and culture, as well as a complex and rich collection of libatory goodness. From the American Homebrewers Association website:

"American Craft Beer Week is May 14-20 and recognizes America's small, independent and traditional brewers and contributions the craft beer community makes to our economy, culture and history.

Consider participating in the Great American Beer Tour to celebrate American Craft Beer Week. Visit craft breweries and win pint glasses, an embroidered shirt or the grand prize trip to the GABF in October! Print your passport today at: www.AmericanCraftBeerWeek.org

Craft beer and food pairings, special-release beers, firkin-keg tapings, single-release cask-conditioned ales, special brewery tours, and make-your-own American craft beer are just some of the offerings by participating breweries.

For a complete list of events, visit www.AmericanCraftBeerWeek.org."

If you've never entered the expansive and tasty world of craft beers, find a local brewery and take the opportunity to sate your curiosity and tantalize your palate. And if you're already familiar with these excellent beverages, then raise your pints and celebrate responsibly!
