PORTLAND, Maine -- Like most small breweries, Gritty McDuff's went through a lull as fast-rising sales of craft beer leveled off in the late 1990s. But Gritty's and the craft beer industry as a whole are now enjoying a resurgence as sales are growing at their fastest pace in a decade. Production of craft beer - those specialty brews typically made in small regional or local breweries - last year grew by 9 percent, the biggest jump since 1996, when the microbrewery craze of the '90s was still going full tilt. Mainstream beer sales fell slightly. The Associated Press
