May 16 - May 22: American Craft Beer Week.  American Craft Beer Week brings together a nation of craft beer fanatics to commemorate everything our industry has become. It is a time to reflect on how craft brewers revolutionized not only the way beer is viewed and enjoyed, but also the landscape of American beer distribution and retail sales in a single generation. Consider that in 1980 there were a mere 42 brewing companies left after decades of consolidation, producing among them only a handful of different beer styles. Today we have more than 4,300 breweries - 99% of them small and independent contributing myriad beer styles to a vibrant beer marketplace and craft beer making scene.
