From May 12th – 18th, the Brewers Association has called for the United States to “brewnite” under the common cause of craft beer. There will be a diverse spread of events throughout Washington D.C. to honor another successful year of domestic brewing. Check out and head to the events listed below, and if you know something we don’t, be sure to let us know on Facebook or Twitter. Cheers, America!
