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

From introducing "crafty" beers to buying craft breweries, InBev, MillerCoors, and other macrobrewers have done a good job of blurring the lines of what truly defines a craft beer. Which begs the question - what are consumers really consuming?

The Fourth of July is the one day every year when America stops what it's doing to commemorate our Independence from Great Britain. It's also a time for friends, family and food, fireworks, parades, barbecues, carnivals, fairs, picnics, concerts, political speeches and ceremonies...and, oh yeah, beer.

And since we've no doubt that all of American Craft Beer's Regional Correspondents are going to be out and about celebrating, we thought we'd hit them up to see what they'll be eating and drinking on their Independence Day.

Hey it's Wednesday and it's Rumor Mill Time...GWAR is cranking up the boil on what may well be the summer's sickest beer and they're doing it with the help of Cigar City!

Some people love sweet swirls of flavor like PB&J or chocolate and strawberries, but for my money, savory will always reign supreme. Since college, I've considered pizza and beer to be the ultimate combination - a cold, bubbly lager and a hot, bubbly pie are logically delicious. But my faith in the ultimate pairing has been shaken lately by a force greater than delivery: beer dinners.

About fifty minutes north of Boston in an industrial park in Newburyport, Massachusetts, you'll find Riverwalk Brewing Company. Their mission is to "create a unique experience in every glass of Riverwalk beer."And after sampling the brews on a recent visit, I can say that Founder and Owner Steve Sanderson is doing just that.

For most of us, the recent Memorial Day weekend was a time for sunshine, grilling, and beers - the kind of day that outdoor festivals were made for. Not so much for Boston this year, or for its debut music festival, Boston Calling.

We blame the industry for this... It used to be that when we wrapped up our Weekend Picks on Friday, we could coast through the weekend. There was little need to check in for updates - things were pretty much done. But clearly all that's changed. So here's some of what's happened in the world of craft beer while you were enjoying yourselves.
