Polls: The Pulse of Today’s Craft Beer Lover

By Julia Herz

Today’s craft beer lovers are fortunate to have more choices than ever before thanks to the 1,900+ U.S. breweries in existence. Through conversations and travels, I’ve noticed that each subset of the craft beer drinking population—beer beginner, beer enthusiast, beer geek—deem specific information and options more important than others when ordering a craft beer.

With that, CraftBeer.com is taking the pulse of our visitors. With your input, we hope to more clearly define what matters most when ordering a beer and provide helpful feedback to retailers who are hard at work building their reputations as great craft beer destinations.

For more polls, be sure to visit the Craft Beer Polls area of CraftBeer.com.
