It’s toted as the “mother” of all other beer events, a must-attend event for craft beer – or any beer for that matter – enthusiasts: American Craft Beer Week, an annual even that takes place in mid-May in cities all across the United States, such as Boston. The week is a fan favorite for the younger demographic, particularly college students living in Boston College apartments or Boston University apartments, who can walk to such events that make up the week-long festivities at area breweries and other locations throughout the city. In addition to allowing beer fans the chance to sample various types of craft beer, the annual American Craft Beer Week also serves as a great promotional tool for local breweries, independent brewers and the different varieties of homemade beer.
American Craft Beer Week began in 2006 and has since gained popularity and notoriety among beer lovers everywhere. In 2011, over 1,500 events were held throughout the United States and tens of thousands of beer lovers across the country signed a Declaration of Beer Independence to pay homage to the event. With Boston’s history of Irish nationalities, it’s no surprise that the event is popular among the college scene.
American Craft Beer Week gives beer drinkers the chance to ditch the name brand brews for a day and the chance to try some specialty brewed beer, from independent brewers and brewery businesses alike, with thousands of other beer drinkers in their city and tens of thousands of other beer enthusiasts across the country. It’s a hit among those in the college apartments and downtown apartments. Just be sure to sample craft brews responsibly.
