American Craft Beer Week

Not sure how I missed this, but apparently it’s American Craft Beer Week, another one of those ceremonial weeks sanctioned by Congress (if you’re a law wonk, check out the actual bill as a pdf here).
If you read the recitals to that law, you’d think craft brewers are heroes (I certainly do), which is particularly ironic given that there are others who feel that there is a new movement afoot to stigmatize social drinking (referred to as “Prohibition drip-by-drip).
Anyway, make sure you celebrate with your favorite local craft brew, and lift one for me as well.
