American Craft Beer Week is finally here!

American Craft Beer Week has returned with breweries and beer establishments celebrating with events all over the country. Heading into the big week, Congress even unanimously consented on a resolution to support craft brewers earlier this month [Track progress or click here for pdf]. The House will formally read the resolution on Tuesday.

The best point of reference for ACBW events is the American Craft Beer Week website which has a dropdown lost of states, each of which contains events. Additionally, Beer Advocate and RateBeer keep a solid calendar of events. Since not every brewery registered its event on the website or posted the full details, here is a supplemental list of some articles/events mentioned in the mainstream media and blogs:
