It’s official: U.S. craft brewery tally reaches 2,000
Lo and behold; our operating brewery count hit 2,051 as of April 30, 2012. The current count of craft brewers stands exactly at 2,000 and the count of domestic non-craft brewers stands at 51. (These counts are for brick-and-mortar facilities, and does not include contract or alternating proprietorship operations so that there isn’t a double-counting of breweries.)

Absolutely amazing. Being from Canada, I am so jealous. I need to plan a beercation soon.
Chris – That’s what my trip to Chicago is quickly becoming. LOL. Doesn’t help that said trip coincides with the end of Chicago Craft Beer Week. Oh my poor liver/wallet.
