INGREDIENTS
Locally sourced ingredients, and interesting additions from far away lands; Craft brewers are always pushing the envelope on what can be added to a beer. Finally there is something that has only ingredients you can easily pronounce!

HEALTH BENEFITS
A major ingredient in craft beer is hops. Hops contain polyphenols which are an antioxidant that helps to lower cholesterol and even fight certain types of cancer.
