Starting the craft beer revolution

Author and co-founder of the Brooklyn Brewery talks the start of the craft beer trend.

Steve Hindy credits Maytag with starting, “The Craft Beer Revolution.” That’s the title of his new book.

And Steve isn’t just an author; he’s the co-founder of the Brooklyn Brewery.
