UK craft beer growth not far behind USA
According to Iain Loe of CAMRA, a group dedicated to promoting good beer, 99 commercial breweries opened in Britain in the year to June 2010, boosting the total to 840. He reckons another 60 have started up since then. Some of these enterprises are tiny, but together they are gaining market share. Despite fewer pints being sunk overall, production by microbreweries and other small local beermakers grew by 8.8% in 2010.
