in the UK the "Bloggerati" have been mulling, nay debating the idea of what is craft beer, and how it's "applicable" to the UK, with out Real Ale mantra...
of course, in the US, there is no CAMRA, but, you don't have hangups over dispense...
anyway, I would love your thoughts on this: http://beermerchants.wordpress.com/2011/06/01/what-is-craft-beer/
It's a subject that I find, belongs in the brewing realm, rather with the writers et al.
