Brandi and I have been discussing a lot of the aspects of the craft beer world this week, and inviting a lot of people in to talk about the industry, mostly because it's American Craft Beer Week this week, but also because, well, beer.

So I figured it would be a good opportunity to highlight some of the ways that craft breweries connect with their communities. It's really cool to see how pivotal a role breweries can play when it comes to giving back. From Newburgh to Keegan to Mill House and most every brewery in between, the Hudson Valley is really lucky to have people who view it as their responsibility to give back.

Jamie and Larry from Mill House came through to talk about it, and they give all sorts of information on some really great and important causes right here in the Hudson Valley with whom they are involved, and maybe you can get involved with, too.
