I’d like to hear an explanation on “craft” beer. The term is largely misunderstood by the lay person. The Brewers Association classifies craft as small (6 million barrels or less a year), independent (25% or less of the brewery is owned or controlled by a beverage alcohol industry member which is not itself a craft brewer) and most importantly, a brewer (has a “Brewer’s Notice issued by the Alcohol & Tobacco Tax & Trade Bureau, or its successor, or control the intellectual property for one or more brands of beer, have that brand or brands brewed for it in the United States, and have as its primary business purpose the resale of the brand or brands it controls”).
What exactly from craft beer is being showcased for agriculture? Is the state growing some particularly notable ingredients?
