Craft Spirits Go Corporate

Your editor just got back from the American Craft Spirits Association (ACSA) conference last week, and I'm ready to declare 2017 the year that craft went corporate. Although some of them might consider that slander, I don't mean it negatively. I mean that in its fourth year, ACSA and its attendees are almost unrecognizably organized and unified compared to the rag-tag bunch of day dreamers it was three years ago.More importantly, the tone of the conference mirrors the category's evolution.
