Sierra Nevada/North Coast/Anchor/Deschutes/istock/Uproxx With new breweries sprouting up everywhere seemingly every week, it’s easy to forget that it wasn’t always like this.

St. Bernardus/La Senne/Val-Dieu/Chimay/istock/Uproxx While craft brewers have taken the mantle admirably and certainly shown their own prowess over the past few decades, few US breweries have anywhere near the history of their European counterparts.

Narragansett/Budweiser/Coors/Miller/istock/Uproxx Over the past two decades, the craft beer world has exploded in the US. But just because there are more than 9,000 breweries (most of which are craft breweries) doesn’t mean drinkers have stopped buying mass-produced, little to no-frills, macro beers. We understand completely. While we love a good, juicy, hazy, New England IPA …
Allagash/Creature Comforts/Weihenstephaner/Westbrook/istock/Uproxx While wheat beers are popular in the spring and summer months, there’s really no wrong time of year to enjoy a standard wheat beer, witbier, hefeweizen, weizenbock, dunkelweizen, lambic, or even a salty, fresh gose.

Rothhaus/Bayreuther/Erdinger/Augustiner/istock/Uproxx When most Americans think of German beer, they think of the big names — Paulaner, Spaten, Bitburger, Beck’s.

Pilsner Urquwll/Guinness/Nola/Jack's Abbey/istock/Uproxx Porters, barrel-aged stouts, and strong ales are great in winter. But they’re… a lot — heavy, thick, and often high in ABVs. That’s where session beers come in. If you’re new to this term, “session beer” refers to a beer with a lower ABV. They usually sit between two and five percent …

New Glarus/Almanac/Short's/Beachwood/istock/Uproxx There are almost 9,000 breweries in the U.S. alone. That means that there are endless IPAs, stouts, porters, pale ales, lagers, pilsners, and any number of fruit-based beers.

Boddingtons/Guinness/Asahi/Foster's/istock/Uproxx If you look at the history of brewing in America, the craft beer boom is a fairly new phenomenon.
