Video - Session: A Craft Beer Festival

This past weekend, at the Session Craft Beer Festival, I was approached by the gentleman in the video (who I now know as Sean Ward) to do a small sound bite for a video he was putting together, and today that video went live on YouTube.

It's pretty good.  He talks to a number of people in the industry during the 5:36 video and he got some pretty good shots, not bad for someone that isn't to familiar with craft beers or craft brewing.

I should clarify one thing though. In the video I say that the Canadian craft brewing industry is about 10 years behind the American's, which I do believe, to some degree.  There are breweries in Canada that are right up there with the best in the world, and some on the verge of becoming great, but I think we can all agree that the US craft brewing industry has taken beer to a whole new level with their willingness to experiment and innovate, which has helped shape the drinking culture in America.  We're getting there, so please know I'm not taking anything away from the men and women in the Canadian industry with the comment.
