Sipping on a craft beer isn鈥檛 the same as cracking open a bottle of Heineken or popping the tab on a Miller Lite. 

You can crack a cold one, pop plenty of bottles, and let the tap flow, but the world of craft beer is justdifferent. Whether it鈥檚 an ale, lager, stout, or sour, people all over the U.S. are trying their own recipes at home. Some turn them into businesses.

The number of craft breweries in the U.S. is at an all-time high according to the , with more than 9,500 across the country.
