Brewers Association Celebrates the Year in Beer (2018)
The Brewers Association, the not-for-profit trade association dedicated to small and independent American brewers, has officially released the 2018 Year in Beer.

“The brewing landscape is shifting, yet small and independent breweries continue to find market success. Brewers are finding ways to differentiate themselves in a competitive market, become pillars of communities, and embrace new experiences and occasions to connect with beer lovers.”
