The boom of craft breweries originated in the United Kingdom at the end of the 20th century.

The difference between craft beer and industrial beer
According to the raw materials and fermentation process, beer can usually be divided into industrial beer and craft beer.
In order to unify the taste of the finished product, industrial beer usually has a single brewing process and style. In order to pursue cost, more raw materials such as rice, corn and starch are used to replace malt, which is diluted with water in the later stage. It has a light taste, more bubbles, and wort. The characteristics of low concentration, low hop content and low alcohol content, its natural nutritional value and price are also low.
Craft beer only uses malt, hops, yeast and water for brewing, without any artificial additives. Compared with industrial beer, there is more malt content, more hops are added, and the brewed wort has a higher concentration. Craft beer is 100% pure malt fermented, with mellow taste, rich wheat aroma, pleasant hop aroma, white and delicate foam, long-lasting hanging cup, strong lethality, fresh and pure taste, and unique flavor. It is a veritable super liquid bread in the beer family .
