An American craft brewer is small, independent
and traditional.
Small: Annual production of 6 million barrels of beer
or less. Beer production is attributed to a brewer
according to the rules of alternating proprietorships.
Flavored malt beverages are not considered beer for
purposes of this definition.
Independent: Less than 25% of the craft brewery is owned or controlled (or equivalent
economic interest) by an alcoholic beverage industry member who is not themselves a craft
brewer.
Traditional: A brewer who has either an all malt flagship (the beer which represents the greatest
volume among that brewers brands) or has at least 50% of its volume in either all malt beers or
in beers which use adjuncts to enhance rather than lighten flavor.
The following are some concepts related to craft beer and craft brewers:
Craft brewers are small brewers.
The hallmark of craft beer and craft brewers is innovation. Craft brewers interpret historic
styles with unique twists and develop new styles that have no precedent.
Craft beer is generally made with traditional ingredients like malted barley; interesting
and sometimes non-traditional ingredients are often added for distinctiveness.
Craft brewers tend to be very involved in their communities through philanthropy,
product donations, volunteerism, and sponsorship of events.
Craft brewers have distinctive, individualistic approaches to connecting with their
customers.
Craft brewers maintain integrity by what they brew and their general independence, free
from a substantial interest by a non-craft brewer.
The majority of Americans live within 10 miles of a craft brewer.

2. The number of craft brewers has gone from 8 in 1980 to 537 in 1994 to over 2300 in 2012. the
number of breweries in planning is skyrocketing. As of June1, 2013 there are more than 1,500
breweries in development in the US. Craft brewers operate in 344 congressional districts and the
majority of Americans live within 10 miles of a brewery. Truly craft brewers and craft beer
drinkers are participants in a revolution. There has never been a better time or place to drink beer
than in the US right now. Interesting fact from the Brewers Association.
Mancy's is bringing their love for craft beers to Mancy's Steakhouse, Mancy's Italian Grill,
Mancy's Bluewater Grill and toShorty's BBQ. Many say craft beer is the new wine...with all the
combinations available it probably will give wine a run for the money! Next time you stop into
Mancy's Steakhouse ask how many craft beers we have (it will surprise you to find out) and
which one would taste great with our famous steaks, seafood and made from scratch special
recipes. We were building our craft beer selection long before we had our very own Papou's
Brews.
Mancy's Italian Grill, Mancy's Bluewater Grille and Shorty's are also leading the charge on the
latest craft beers in Toledo. What better opportunity to try a different craft beer accompanied
with the best Steak, best Italian, best Seafood and best BBQ in Toledo! Even Smash Toledo
highlighted us in their "ToledoCraftBeer.com" episodes dedicated to craft beer.

4. Each of our restaurants are as unique as the craft beers themselves. We want to thank everyone
for the awesome reception of our own Papou's Brew craft beers, Papou Pale Ale, Papou Belgian
White and now 10th Anniversary Oktoberfest. It wouldn't be possible without the help of
Maumee Bay Brewing company and all of you. Every once in a while we have to step away from
our tradition and encourage our personal passions for bringing the best to Toledo. Mancy's 10th
Anniversary Oktoberfest is still available on tap...and we have (shhh) another one brewing. Sign
up to our newsletter and download our app to see more of our passions come to life at Mancy's.
