Last but not least its an American tradition to accompany any occasion, big or small, with a nice cold brew. In recent years the number of breweries in the U.S has reached an all time high of 3,000 for the first time since before Prohibition. So whether you’re into blondes, darks or honeys remember to keep red, white make sure to sit back relax and not let summer pass you by too fast.
