It’s been a good couple of years for American craft brew afficionados. The country has gained about 700 breweries in the past two years, and an additional 1,755 breweries are still in the planning stages, the same MarketWatch article reports.

Today, craft beer seekers have plenty of options for truly local pints. Here’s a quick list of potential places to check out, just in time for D.C. Beer Week.
