While sites such as Kickstarter and IndieGoGo have received a ton of notice for their capacity to help fund various projects, including craft beer, CrowdBrewed.com is a niche crowdfunding website that is focused solely on the craft beer industry. We recently visited with their CEO, Travis Benoit, about the company and its potential role in the Craft Beer Industry.

All in favor of a homebrewing facility for the people, by the people, just an express bus away from Copley Square, filled with quality ingredients, locally sourced charcuterie, free samples, and appearances from the likes of Jim Koch? Your answer better be HELL YES.

Our friends at the Brewer's Association just hit us up with the good news that craft beer sales and volume are showing double-digit growth for the first six months of 2013. And as with any good craft beer news, we're passing it along with their super-nifty graphics for your enjoyment.

We're all about it and we've got your back big-time. Plus we've got an awesome weekend beer pick that you'll want to track down. So welcome to this week's edition of our awesome Weekend Picks!

It's no secret that craft beer has arrived in this country and that it's now a big part of our pop cultural landscape. But the craft beer biz isn't the only industry that's exploding. There's an equally successful phenomenon that is capturing America's attention - the gourmet food truck craze. And like craft beer, food trucks are now sweeping the nation...so we thought it might be fun to get them together.

Two friends, two significant others, and a whole lot of beer - Magnolia Pictures presents Drinking Buddies, an honest look into how friendships can become complicated by common interests.
