Craft Beer in the U.S.
Craft beer is paving the way for a new crop of beer makers. While the 1990's and early 2000's saw a big rise in brew pubs, the trend today leans more toward microbreweries that aim to distribute their product. Between 2012 and 2014, the number of new brewery openings has been at near unprecedented levels; the highest total since the 1880's.
