July 4 is almost here, and I'd like to take a moment to suggest that We as a people take this opportunity to remember the independent breweries, free from the tyranny of A-B, Miller, and Coors. Remember the small producers struggling to survive against industry giants bent on market-cornering and bland homogeny.
(cue patriotic music)
Remember the brave pioneers that first pitched yeast back in the '70s so we could truly have regional choice in our time. For, were it not for those brave souls who brewed against the grain, the beer coolers of this nation would look very different today.
Drink independent this Independence Day!
