Amidst the happy hours, an activity my friends and I enjoy doing is trying out different local breweries. As we attempt to expand our beer palates, the experience and feel of the establishment also is an important factor.
The craft beer industry has been booming since the early 2000s and the Boulder, Colo.-based Brewers Association reported a 5 percent-by-volume increase of craft brewer sales in 2017. As more and more beer styles appear in the market, consumers are finding new ways to enhance their craft-drinking experience.
