If it is craft beer in your bottle or glass, you
are doing yourself and the brewers a big
favor! Continue reading to learn more
about the benefits of choosing craft beer. 
Among those that drink, craft beer
drinkers are considered the kindest and
the healthiest. Aside from helping small,
independent brewers who work hard to
create unique, rich flavors thrive in their
business, craft beers also contain some of
the freshest and healthiest ingredients.
Just about everyone who drinks beer has
thought about whether it is good or bad
for their health. There is no simple
answer to this question as the effects may
vary from one person to another. 
However, an ever-growing body of
research confirms that moderate
drinking is safe, including craft beer. But,
what is craft beer? By definition, craft
beer is produced by small, independent
breweries, usually fewer than two million
barrels yearly. 
Why Do People Drink Craft Beer? 
Even if we all fantasize about the taste
being equal, there are several reasons to
reach for craft over macro. The next
time you are at a local bar or restaurant,
consider the following reasons to
choose craft beer. 
1. Supporting Local Business 
Many of us live within a few miles of a
craft brewery. When you buy local craft
beer, more money stays closer to home,
which does so much to help not only the
brewers of the beer you love but also
your local economy. 
Most craft breweries use locally sourced
ingredients. Some even fund local
charities. Going local also gives you the
chance to enjoy a fresh and tastier beer; it
likewise helps you make new friends, meet
the brewers, and contribute to something
built out of love and passion.
Who doesn't want to be part of ventures
like these, where you get to help your
"home" thrive just by enjoying something
tasty?  
2. Sustainable Brewing 
Most craft brewers are eco-conscious. They
try to ply their craft safely and sustainably.
From composting to using materials and
equipment that take fewer resources and
use alternative sources of energy, they have
more in mind than just making lots of
money. 
As you take that reusable growler or fill
your keg locally, you are helping them
reduce energy usage and waste. 
3. Better Ingredients 
Your usual beer contains four main
ingredients: water, grain, yeast, and hops.
Did you know that craft beers have higher
quality, fresher, and sometimes even
organic ingredients, which are grown
locally? 
If you have a chance, visit local breweries
near you, and most owners will be more
than happy to show you the ingredients
they use and how they handle and produce
their products. 
4. Nutrition or Health Benefits 
We all know that heavy drinking can
take a serious toll on your health. Much is
known about the benefits of drinking
wine, but evidence shows that beer also
carries most of these benefits, or even
more. 
What are the most common craft
beer health benefits? 
Beer contains higher amounts of
protein and vitamin B than other
beverages. The antioxidant content of
beer, though different from wine,
also has the same protective benefits. 
As recommended by the USDA, moderate
drinking is up to one drink per day for
women and not exceeding two drinks daily
for men. Evidence shows that people who
drink three or four times weekly are less
prone to diabetes than non-drinkers. 
Men who had 1-6 beers per week decreased
their risk of diabetes by as much as 21%.
Beer can also make your heart healthier.
Moderate drinkers were found to have the
slowest decline in good cholesterol. 
Beer also contains a good amount of dietary
silicon, which protects from conditions like
osteoporosis. It helps the development of
healthy bones and connective tissues.
Malted barley and hops are two of the best
sources of silicon. 
Silicon has also been found to be effective in
preventing dementia and Alzheimer's
disease. Moderate beer drinkers are 23%
less likely to develop these cognitive
disorders. 
Did you know that beer can help clean your
teeth too? It keeps away the bacteria that
causes decay and gum disease. Hops in beers
may also interfere with inflammation. 
5. Good Variety 
Why do people drink craft beer? It has a
good variety to suit nearly every occasion!
Brewers love to experiment with new
flavors, whether it's something sweet and
fruity, dark and ultra-bitter, or even spicy! 
Think about the pumpkin spice latte that's
popular in coffee shops at the beginning of
every autumn. You can actually get that
same warm, fuzzy feeling by choosing a
beer that matches your mood and the
season. Actually, some bars even offer
pumpkin spice beer! 
The options are limitless as to what you can
do with craft beers! Come visit us at Village
