Yeah after rereading your posts on this thread I think I've gone off on a different tangent.  Your talking about the origin of micro brewing in the US.  And yes I'll concede that indirectly CAMRA may have had an influence on that and Austin and Pugsley most certainly did.  The explosion of microbreweries in the last 10 years in the US is what I was referrring to when I credited the internet as the largest factor in that.  Over 100 breweries now in the state of Massachusetts alone and still growing.  The ability to market themselves online is an essential component to that along with the current laws that allow them to legally open a taproom without having to run a restaurant.
