In 1975, there was one craft brewery in the United States; today, there are more than 2,300. Powered by millions of savvy, devoted consumers and raking in hundreds of millions annually for producers and retailers, the American craft beer movement has changed the brewing industry and the international reputation of American beer. The Rogues at the heart of the revolution upended the Big Beer giants that once seemed untouchable and forever altered the culinary habits of not only millions of Americans but millions more worldwide. Tom Acitelli chronicles this delicious story of plucky triumph in his awesomely titled The Audacity of Hops: America’s Craft Beer Revolution.
