It’s being reported that America has more craft beer breweries today than at any other point since 1887. A new term that was just added to the Merriam-Webster dictionary this year, even President Obama has his own brew.

According to the Brewer’s Association, the number of breweries is increasing dramatically in just a year. Among these breweries, 97 percent are “craft brewers“ — meaning they are relatively low-production, independently owned, and “interpret historic styles with unique twists and develop new styles that have no precedent.”
