Just a few years ago, the craft beer scene was virtually nonexistent. Today, microbreweries are wowing casual drinkers and serious critics alike with intense and innovative flavors that can both stand alone or pair brilliantly with food. There are over 2,000 breweries in the U.S. alone right now and hundreds more are on the way, plus tons of beer gardens and specialty bars where you can find the best and weirdest of the bunch. Food Republic culled a list of the top ten most influential craft brewers on the scene right now, and they include some of our favorites like Stone, Founders, and New Belgium. Get the full list here!
