Over the past few years, the craft beer market has exploded, with new breweries popping up seemingly overnight to introduce a staggering array of choices many people have never even heard of. With all the options available, standing in front of the cooler at your local craft beer shop can be somewhat intimidating, but you don't have to let that feeling get in the way of enjoying your next favorite beer.

If you're interested in exploring the world of craft beer, the experts at Rabun ABC Package Store in Clayton, GA, recommend:

• Buying Singles: Many craft beer shops and even some grocery stores sell single bottles of beer, which lets you experiment without spending a lot of money. If you get something you don't like, you'll only be out a couple of bucks. In fact, trying beers you don't like can help steer you towards something you'll love.
• Learning The Lingo: One of the most intimidating parts of entering the world of craft beer is learning the differences between the different varieties. Luckily, websites like beeradvocate.com offer some fairly in-depth articles so you can learn the difference between an IPA, a lager, and a bitter.
• Going To A Tasting: Your local brewery or craft beer shop may host beer tastings, which are very similar to the wine tastings you may be more familiar with. The employees are often well versed in the world of craft beer and can help steer you toward beverages that are more your style.
