"Right here, right now is the best time in the history of mankind to be a beer drinker. America now has more breweries than at any time since prohibition, and globally, beer culture is thriving and constantly innovating. This beer renaissance -- spurred by consumers, a new generation of passionate brewers, and technological advancements -- has created a modern culture that celebrates flavor and creativity, using ingredients that a generation ago would have been considered taboo by beer makers. However, while it is a great time to be a beer drinker, it's also a confusing time. As the industry suffers from growing pains, beer drinkers are faced with uneven quality and misinformation about flavors. Unfair business practices see some breweries pay for taps instead of earning them by popular demand, and other brewers are denied access to certain ingredients monopolized by larger companies. Quality often suffers as breweries try to grow too quickly, and "craft" beers promote bitter, strong, and odd flavors at the expense of the more subtle styles. The modern beer drinker must be prepared to think critically about the best beverage in the world."-- Provided by publisher.
