quote [ Just five years ago, there were only about 2,000 U.S. craft brewers. More than 800 opened for business in 2016 — and they're finding a changing market. ]
With all the bullshit happening right now at least we can take some solace in knowing that we are also living in a golden age of beer.

Yeah, thousands and thousands of these breweries are absolutely indistinguishable, and the vast majority don't know how to make a clean and balanced beer.
The people opening all these breweries are business people, not brewers. I live in a town with a population of 5,000 (during winter. 40,000 during summer) and there are three breweries opening up, none of them by people with any history of brewing. This is happening all over the country, and most of the results are not good.
That said, if you're ever around the West Michigan area, I highly recommend stopping by New Holland or Founders. But the best way to make sure you are drinking great beer is to make it yourself.
