\"American<\/p>\n

Hello Craft Beer Fans, let the celebrations begin.<\/p>\n

If you’re a fan of craft beer, than you probably know about the ACBF and you might have been waiting for this night all year.<\/p>\n

Tonight marks the celebration and highlight of Boston Beer Week 2011 – the 4th Annual American Craft Beer Festival, hosted by Beer Advocate.\u00a0 Although there have been many discussion (on the web) about the usage of “craft” in the name microbrews, you can’t take “craft” out of ACBF (If you did, it would only be the ABF and who wants to attend that :))<\/p>\n

Anyways, within the next 48 hours, there will be three festival sessions held at the Seaport World Trade Center Boston<\/a>.\u00a0 The American Craft Beer Fest (ACBF) is the east coast’s largest celebration of American beer, featuring over 100 American brewers and over 500 beers!<\/p>\n

Hope to see you there!<\/p>\n

Sean, Ryan and Ian.<\/p>\n
