American Craft Beer The Best Craft Beer, Breweries, Bars, Brewpubs, Beer Stores, And Restaurants Serving Serious Beer.

ACB is a consortium of writers, artists, industry professionals, and dangerous hopheads that cover the craft beer scene for us and for you. Many of them are based in different cities and they all bring wildly differing perspectives as to what's important in the world of craft beer. So when we asked some of them to look back at 2013 and give us their highlights and lowlights - we got so much back from them that we were forced to make this a series.

So check out Part 1 (if you haven't already), and welcome to More Good, Bad, and Ugly.
