Wednesday, April 29, 2009, 12:16 PM I know I’m not in the minority on this one: I love beer. But what I love more is trying new and interesting craft beers—the ones with complex, unusual flavors; unique brewing processes; and oft-cryptic names: Delirium Tremens, Purple Haze, Trois Pistoles. I’m thrilled when I hit the store and see new brews in the craft style, and now they’re even pouring from our country’s big-time producers, including Anheuser-Busch (Shock Top, American Ale, Michelob Hop Hound) and Miller-Coors (whose success with Blue Moon, I believe, really got others to take notice of the craft beer phenomenon and follow suit). But, though the heavy hitters are in there mixing up the scene, we should take some time to celebrate the true craft breweries in the United States–the smaller producers that account for 97% of the 1,500-plus breweries in the nation, according to the Brewers Association–during American Craft Beer Week (May 11-17; americancraftbeerweek.org). In fact, craft brewers epitomize everything that we celebrate (and could really use right now) in our country: ingenuity, self-sufficiency and scrappy determination
