American Craft Beer Week

Raise a pint to your favorite craft brewers when American Craft Beer Week kicks off next week. From May 16-22, celebrations will be taking place from coast to coast in honor of the more than 1,700 craft brewers across America. American Craft Beer Week has been growing since 2006 when 124 breweries hosted events around the country. Last year, nearly 350 breweries hosted more than 600 events in 45 states, and Congress passed a resolution to formally recognize American Craft Week. This year, events are expected to take place in all 50 states. Head over the craftbeer.com for a comprehensive list of events happening all next week, or to add an event in your area.
