New England Beer Festival Guide
Celebrate Craft Brewing's Resurgence This Summer

New England was at the forefront of the microbrew revolution, and now that specialty beers are making a comeback, there's no better place than the Northeast to celebrate craft brewing's resurgence this summer. According to the Brewers Association, America's craft beer makers sold 9 percent more beer in 2005 than in 2004, making craft beer the fastest growing segment of the alcoholic beverage industry for the second straight year. In 2006, U.S. supermarket sales of craft beers surged 17.8 percent, and 2007 already appears to be another strong growth year. Find the right craft brew for you at one of these summer beer festivals in New England and neighboring New York State.
