Brought to us by Visual.ly, The American Beer Revival documents the rise and fall, and then rise again of the American brewery.

Over 30 years later and having officially sampled over 650 different unique varieties, I’ve come up with a list of my favorites. It changes from time to time as I find new varieties to enjoy, but here it is as it stands currently.
