The Popularity of Craft Beer
by Kevin Smith AuthorIt’s
no secret that craft beer is on the rise. The popularity of craft beer has
boomed over the years as millennials have gotten into their 20s and 30s. The
fact that craft beer isn’t (usually) developed by major beer corporations is
often appealing to younger generations, but that by no means is the only draw
to craft beer. There are still many reasons to select a craft beer.
There
are several distinct differences between mainstream and craft beer to keep in
mind while seeking small craft beer in Suwanee, GA.
Mainstream Appeal
The
differences between craft beer and traditional beer are vast. For instance, many
people are familiar with traditional beers, as they’re usually created by major
companies and widely distributed. Ads for major traditional beers are
ubiquitous, therefore increasing their popularity.
Craft
beers are created by smaller breweries and are typically regional or local.
Although some craft breweries have a high level of distribution and therefore
are more popular throughout the country, most are limited to a specific region
or city. Craft beers usually have not (or haven’t yet) reached commercial
appeal, but that doesn’t mean that they’re any lessor or inferior.
Taste
Craft
beers are created entirely to have a unique taste. Mainstream beers are usually
brewed to have a consistent, well-known flavor. Some people describe it as
mainstream beers “tasting like beer,” whereas craft beers taste like molasses,
sugar, hops, sour, and so on. They’re crafted specifically to add unique
flavors to the existing beer taste. Although there are both mainstream and
craft versions of such classic types of beer as IPAs, lagers, pilsners,
porters, stouts, and so on, with craft beer the idea of a creative and unique
flavor is the goal for brewers.

Traditional
beers, due in part to their mainstream appeal, usually have a classic and
straightforward image in an attempt to appeal to a wider variety of people.
Craft beers, on the other hand, tend to have a different image and a different
vibe, and in many ways have more character. The fact that they’re different and
out of the ordinary is a large part of their appeal to younger generations.
Craft beers usually have edgy names, unique logos, and try to give off a vibe
for a particular type of person or group of people.
