The American Craft movement is a non-stop parade of ideas and ever-changing brewing directions - that's one of the things that makes it so much fun. What was once the new "next big thing" can quickly become commonplace (barrel-aged stouts anybody?) but it seems like there's always something new just around the corner.

And here a couple of things that are trending right now in the world of craft beer...

ACB covers craft beer news, entertainment and lifestyle 24/7, and we'd like to think we do a decent job. But there's a lot of great craft beer journalism out there - and were constantly running into articles that we wished that we'd written.

We've reached our 22nd state on the list, one with many nicknames including Water Wonderland, The Peninsula State, The Mitten State and the official one, The Great Lake State. Also known as "The Wolverine State," the name is rumored to have been given by either Native Americans or Ohioans due to settlers ravenous acquisition of land. The Wolverine, an intense member of the weasel family, is not at all indigenous to Michigan. 

LoCo is a nickname for Loudoun County, a scenic expanse of small towns, rolling hills and mountain vistas just northwest of Washington, DC. For years it's been known for its artisan wineries - and now it's becoming a "go-to" destination for a whole new generation of craft breweries.

Many bars and restaurants in Brooklyn are proud of their ability to source fresh, delicious ingredients and libations from within the borough. The Federal Bar, a new restaurant and bar owned by the iconic music venue the Knitting Factory next door, is no exception.
