Well, Let me be the first to congratulate you. You Sir, Madame, or fellow human being if you're not into the whole brevity thing, live in a place in time where the average american lives within 10 miles of a Brewery. There are more than 2,500 breweries in the United States and that number continues to grow. Since pre-prohibition when the number of breweries reached as high as 3,200, you have not had this much access to locally brewed beer. 98% of these are small independently owned breweries and " are known for being passionate and innovative makers of fuller flavored beer". The other 2%.....well, they're the guys that make that yellow fizzy carbonated water you used to drink before you became the classy, intellectual, and down right awesome person you are today. So get out and take a tour damn't. Meet your local brewers. Drink local beer. You'll see firsthand how its made, meet the brewers who craft it, and it tastes better. Trust me on this one, it does.
