U.S. Brewery Count Tops 3,000 | Brewers Association
Approx 3,040 Craft breweries in the USA, I bet there is a wide range to suit every taste imaginable.

I now dip my sandwiches in watery gravy. I thought au jus was a bit disgusting when I came over, I love it now. I don't remember it ever comming with sarnies in Blighty.

One thing I'll say is I have children & other relatives on both sides of the Pond in this 20s/30s age group, and I quite enjoy hipsterism in all its forms. My husband has big problems with some of the lifestyle choices, though, so I have to listen to his complaints about young people 'defacing' themselves with plugs/piercings/scars/tats ....

Also a few brews around here do decent blueberry ales and cherry wheats that are worth a go. Unibroque do a lovely apple beer too.
I think I might draw the line at the pineapple ale I saw today though....but have tried a lot more weirder sounding beers over here and the craft scene is fun.
Not very cheap though.

I'm about to brew a raspberry lambic....they're pretty tasty but my first go at double fermenting and using the kind of yeast that goes in this...

That doesn't sound to bad....I've had a lobster ale, which wasn't to bad...definitely not a session beer though!

What odd things????
Using hand sanitiser several times a day. I think that American germophobia is definitely rubbing off on me!
I haven't started using the sanitiser wipes on Walmart cart handles yet...but I feel it coming on!!!
