All over America this week there will be celebration, pouring of pints, toasting of glasses, and drinking of beer. What makes this different from every other week? It just so happens to be American Craft Beer Week (ACBW).

“American Craft Beer Week allows everyone to honor and toast the hard work and success of the craft beer community,” said Julia Herz, publisher of CraftBeer.com and craft beer program director at the Brewers Association. “Against many odds, craft brewers have used grassroots efforts to grow the industry one glass, one bottle, one can, one keg, one growler and one customer at a time.”

There are more than 2,800 craft breweries across the United States and hundreds more pop up every year. The observance of ACBW (American Craft Beer Week) is now more significant than ever before. So lets honor their hard work and crack open a cold one this week in honor of those great American craft brewers.
