American “craft” brews are revealed as the UK’s fastest growing beer trend

“…sales of premium lagers imported from the US have increased by 150% over the past year as they are rolled out in the UK’s pubs and clubs.”

This doesn’t surprise me as most of the beer in the UK is just not that great. It’ll be interesting to see how this pans out and what other crafty American Beers (Stone, Russian River) eventually make it over the pond. Especially with Tesco, a UK supermarket chain, launching four of the most popular American Real Ales - Blue Moon, Goose Island, Sierra Nevada Pale Ale and Brookllyn Lager - at 750 stores across the UK. Looks like Vinny (Russian River) is gonna have to expand his facilities and drop some Pliny k-nowledge on them Brits…
