Don’t go to Bennigan’s. That’s lame. Almost as lame as drinking green beer. Instead, go to Orlando Brewing (it was much more colorful in the announcement email but I’m too lazy to reformat):

And now you have that annoying tune in your head too. But for a good reason: craft beer continues to kick ass and take names. I know this because the Brewers Association has released their 2007 Craft Beer Industry Statistics.

Some highlights:

• Growth of the craft beer industry was 12% by volume for the first half of 2007.
• The craft beer industry eclipsed 8 million barrels of craft beer produced
  in the U.S. in 2007.
• The microbrewery segment grew 21% in 2007, showing great interest in local brewers.
• Craft beer sales share is 3.8% by volume and 5.9% by dollars.
• Total U.S. Craft Beer Industry Annual Dollar Volume: $5.7 billion.

Also, if it takes on average ten seconds to “take one down” signing the song, you’d need about 67 years to get to zero. And that’s for barrels…

While I was in Park City last week I was happy to have a few Wasatch beers I had before, a few I hadn’t, and some other good local brews. I’d recommend all of these and the food at both Red Rock and Wasatch was as good as the beer.
