With the craft brewery explosion of the past 10-20 years, the brewing industry across America is much akin to what the landscape was before Prohibition. Kind of simiar to what I experienced living in Germany...there were a lot of local breweries in the small towns that would be akin to a craft brewery today.

Having been to Europe (eastern Europe, ie Czech Republic, Poland, Hungary, Romania) and experienced the different culture around drinking in general, I can appreciate the similarities. I enjoy that the craft brewing industry is trending more toward socializing and enjoying the taste of the beer rather than simply getting drunk.

Super chill crowd though, everyone sharing tastes and swapping different beer, and all there to enjoy the time.

I didn't like IPAs until about a year ago, and have had to develop the taste, but really enjoy the community and the people we've met. Plus, we enjoy travelling and we've found we really enjoy searching down breweries in the places we travel to. Some are great, some are not so great, but again, usually it's the people that make it fun.

I love craft beer, I would buy something different every single time I would decide to drink. My personal favorite is Samuel Adams Summer Lager. I really like the brewery with the Native American head on it, I can’t for the life of me spell the name of the brewery. My all time favorite beer is yuengling though. If you have never had beer from Germany or other parts of Europe I highly recommend that as well.
