Since there is not an industry listed for Craft Beer I have chosen the "Think Tank". That is what we want to do: Get people to think about beer and how to make the craft beer industry continue to grow. But remember not to over-think beer, enjoy it and use it as inspiration of great things that can be. Since there is not an industry listed for Craft Beer I have chosen the "Think Tank".
