Ray Daniels Craft Quotations

Oktoberfest is a celebration, and craft brewers in the U.S. have earned the respect of the world. Brewers make special beers to fit the occasion.

We are seeing steady growth among craft brewers throughout the country, with specialty breweries leading the way.

Today's average craft brewery is nearly 1000 times smaller than the average brewery in 1980.

The most vibrant beer culture in the world is here in the U.S.. The Great American Beer Festival is a place to see the influence of the beers of Europe on craft beers of America.

American Craft Beer Week strives to focus attention on the diverse and flavorful beers produced by small, traditional and independent brewers all over America. We want to give every American a chance to visit their local brewery and discover why craft beer is the fastest growing beverage alcohol category in the US.
