Enjoying a good beer is taking a moment for a brief celebration of life. And like gaining a deeper knowledge on any subject, you will find that the more you learn, the more you realize you don't know. So, this is a place to get deeper into all things beer — and thus the name. Stop in occasionally and be a sojourner or share the journey of a beer wanderlust where ever it takes us.

The Rise of Craft Beer

September 12, 2013 by Jack Perdue in brewery, commentary

The New Yorker magazine has done an interesting treatment of the status of the craft beer industry. Labeled Mapping the Rise of Craft Beer it looks at craft beer from many perspectives such as total breweries, production, growth, brewery density, 50-largest and new breweries opened. I like their definition of what comprises a craft brewery as "decidedly non-Budweiser-esque beers".
