Our friends at the he Brewers Association released their annual list of the top 50 American craft breweries today...We found it interesting and thought you might as well. 

There is an adult equivalent to the post-holiday candy swap, and it's happening with craft beer - the increasingly popular bottle swap.

Hey no one's perfect...as we at American Craft Beer.com understand better than most. That said, there are some ideas out there that are so monumentally bad and so misguided as to boggle the mind, allowing us to proclaim that "at least we didn't come up with that!"      

So welcome to another BAD IDEAS IN BREWING...and sometimes you just can't make this stuff up. 

California knows its beer...and we've some great new releases, all brewed in the "The Golden State" that you'll want to get your sweaty little hands on.

We all drink for different reasons. And one of the reasons why we drink at the American Craft Beer compound is to take the "edge" off of a sometimes troubling and unruly world. And if we didn't already have enough to worry about -  an Oxford study just came out about likely ways that our world could end - and we don't like any of them!

The Brewed Food tour is an intriguing pop-up event for anyone passionate about the food and beer world. Created by Chef and Certified Cicerone Jensen Cummings, the tour is "built upon the philosophy of cooking with brewing ingredients and techniques." 

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... But clearly all that's changed.

So here's some of what's happened in the world of craft beer while you were off enjoying yourself.

Hey we get it. You're busy and you can't possibly hang with us 24/7. But still, we don't want you to be missing all the good stuff. So as part of our ongoing commitment to bringing you the best craft beer and lifestyle coverage on the face of the planet - we do an occasional  compilation of our recent good, bad and ugly.

So welcome to another Weekend Wrap

After months of rumors and whispered speculation among industry insiders, American Craft Beer's Founder and Editor-In-Chief, Tom Bobak, was arrested this morning on charges of "beer-hyping" - an unfortunate practice thought to be widespread in craft beer media.

Hey it's Friday... and if you're like us, you're ready for some fun. Well good, because we've got all kinds of ideas for you. From the nation's coolest beer festivals to movies, music and cutting edge TV - we've got your back big-time.  Plus we've a weekend beer pick for you too, because we know you'll be drinking!
