For the March/April 2018 The New Brewer, we present the Culture of Craft issue, focusing on tenets that make craft brewers unique. We turned to the community of brewers and guild leaders to tell their stories within mini-essays on various aspects of craft. We also take a closer look at how the Brewers Association and the Smithsonian are working together to preserve the history of craft brewing, as well as offer a glimpse into the craft beer scene in Nashville in advance of the Craft Brewers Conference April 30–May 3.
