Happy American Craft Beer Week!

This week I'm going to take a break from celebrating the beer from the great state of Michigan, and celebrate it from all over America because today is the first day of American Craft Beer Week. What is American Craft Beer Week you ask?? Well, according to CraftBeer.com:

"Beer weeks are giving craft beer fans across the U.S. ever-increasing options to enjoy and share the beverage they love. Beer weeks celebrate the culture and community of craft beer, and give breweries and beer businesses the opportunity to connect with the fans. The Brewers Association, the national non-profit association on behalf of the majority of today's U.S. breweries, and publishers of CraftBeer.com, celebrate the culmination of these events each May with American Craft Beer Week (ACBW), The Mother of All Beer Weeks."

American Craft Beer Week will be recognized May 14 - 20, 2012 and offers an exciting opportunity for small and independent craft brewers and the community of better beer retailers to celebrate the ever advancing beer culture here in the U.S. Plus, tens of thousands of today's beer beginners, beer enthusiasts, and hard core beer geeks make time to toast the week. Watch the video below for a little more info, it's actually pretty cool.
