4,400 Breweries. 50 States. 1 Beer. Independent Craft Brewers Unite to Create the Biggest Small Beer Ever Made

Available Only During American Craft Beer Week®,
May 16-22, 2016

BOULDER, Colo.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Coming together for the greatest union of all time, small and
independent craft brewers across the country have created a very special
beer in honor of American
Craft Beer Week
(ACBW), May 16-22. To #MakeSmallBeerBig during the
celebratory week, the Biggest Small Beer Ever Made was produced by
participating brewers in all 50 states using the same ingredients and
recipe.


“There’s nothing more American than small and independent craft brewers
and their amazing, full-flavored beer. American Craft Beer Week is a
time to raise a glass and toast how they have forever changed our beer
culture, economy, communities and country as a whole,” said Julia Herz,
publisher of CraftBeer.com
and craft beer program director at the Brewers
Association
. “Craft beer is a unique community where competitors
work together to provide beers that represent authenticity, quality and
innovation. The unity and collaboration behind the Biggest Small Beer
Ever Made shows brewers believe that the success of other independent
brewers is their own success.”

Presented by CraftBeer.com, the nationwide campaign #MakeSmallBeerBig,
is amplified through social and digital promotion to showcase the beer
and create a unifying voice for the craft brewing community. Visual
elements including a graphic and video represent the Biggest Small Beer
Ever Made and the more than 4,400 small and independent brewers
throughout the United States.

The beer, which can be sampled at over 100 breweries throughout the
country, was inspired by one recipe. Each participating brewery was
invited to brew the beer with the understanding that even with the same
recipe, no beer could be exactly the same. American Craft Beer Week
revelers are invited to sample the Biggest Small Beer Ever Made at a
participating brewery near them.

This year also marks the return of the American Craft Beer Week
Nationwide Toast
. At 8:00 p.m. ET/5:00 p.m. PT on Thursday, May 19,
small brewers and craft beer lovers nationwide will raise a glass of the
Biggest Small Beer Ever Made or their favorite indie craft brewed beer
to simultaneously toast ACBW. To find a toast location near you, visit
