The growth of craft beer—defined by the association as suds produced in quantities of less than 2 million barrels annually and cranked out by brewers who own at least three-quarters of their output—peaked in the late 1990s, before going the way of the dotcom boom. But it has been inching back up again. In 2007 more than 1,400 craft operations registered with the U.S. Brewer’s Association, up 10 percent from the year before....
