There’s more to the world of malt and hops than the bottom shelf of the corner store’s cooler. But according to a survey conducted on behalf of Visit Anaheim, only 50% of Americans can name the four main ingredients in beer, and only 45% know the difference between an ale and a lager. National Drink Beer Day, Sept. 28, is a perfect time to explore Detroit’s craft brewing scene and learn more about all things beer.
