Happy American Craft Beer Week


Here in Philly the focus, as expected,  is on the upcomming Philly Beer Week (6/4-6/13). However not to be overlooked is BA's American Craft Beer Week (5/17-5/23).  After all Congress did desiginate this an offical celebration of craft beer/micros.

A House of Representatives resolution, H.R. 1297 (PDF file), was introduced on April 22 to recognize and support the goals and ideals of American Craft Beer Week. This Congressional effort highlights the valuable role that small and independent craft brewers play through community citizenry, economic contributions—including the estimated 100,000 jobs in the industry–and the resurgence in a rich brewing culture not seen since before Prohibition.

Nationally bars, breweries and brew pubs are running specials to cheer the occasion. Check out the American Craft Beer Week site for full details.
