american craft beer week: may 17-23, 2010

american craft beer week in underway! congress gave the celebration quite a boost yesterday when the house passed h.r. resolution 1297. it reads, in part:

[T]he House of Representatives supports the goals and ideals of American Craft Beer Week, as founded by the Brewers Association;
recognizes the significant contributions of craft brewers to the economy of the United States;
and encourages beer-lovers of the United States to celebrate American Craft Beer Week through events at microbreweries, brewpubs, and beer stores across the United States to appreciate the accomplishments of craft brewers.

(emphasis supplied).

i did my small part by having a seasonal sam adams (a noble pils) at a business lunch this afternoon (and should add a few more craft beers to the list by weeks end) :D
