From May 16-May 22, all 50 states will be holding events including exclusive brewery tours, special craft beer releases, food and beer pairings, tap takeovers and more to celebrate the ever-advancing beer culture in the United States.
WHEN: Monday, May 16–Sunday, May 22, 2016
WHERE: In all 50 states.
Visit the official American Craft Beer Week event calendar on CraftBeer.com for a full – and growing – list of local celebrations.
WHY: ACBW has been celebrated for the past decade. Since 2006, craft beer fans have had a designated week to support their local brewery, and beer businesses have had the opportunity to connect with their customers and other beer lovers. Tens of thousands of beer beginners, beer enthusiasts and beer geeks toast the week each year.
In 2015, more than 60,000 beer lovers across all 50 states were also part of the ACBW Facebook Community.With over 4,100 craft breweries now open—an all-time high for our country—there’s even more to celebrate.
