Last week the Brewers Association has published economic data relating to the craft beer sector in the United States. Once again, in spite of the international economic situation, the segment shows an enviable health, testified by impressive numbers. One data above all: compared to 2008, the craft beer market grew by 7.2% in volume and 10.3% in dollars, surprising even the most optimistic analysts.

For similar conclusions it would be necessary to carry out a serious investigation, since so many times we tried to unravel the skein without getting satisfactory results. It is not what I intend to do with this post. I will just write some remarks to reflect on, inspired me from so many comments read in these days. Hope these would be inspiring for you too, in order to have a useful debate on this fundamental topic.
