"Facebooking" for better beer

In a move to promote better beer, America's craft brewers have set up a Facebook page and are encouraging beer enthusiasts to sign in and vent.

Well maybe not vent, but rather stating your beery values by signing in. It is all part of American Craft Beer Week, May 11-17.

The idea, organizers say, is that you declare independence by supporting breweries that produce fewer than 2 million barrels of beer a year and are independently owned. Such breweries are encouraged to post events and celebrations on the Facebook page.

Is this good that Facebooking has come to beer?

Take a look at the page and tell me what you think.
