During these long, hot summer months, nothing cools you off like a frosty mug of beer. In fact, this past Fourth of July, 3 out of 4 Americans reportedly celebrated by drinking a beer, according to one industry-backed poll. And to be sure, consumers had no shortage of options: From hoppy imperial IPAs, to tart sours, to sippable pilsners, the modern American beer market is overflowing with innovative brews.

The beer sector has quickly become one of the most competitive industries in America. So it may come as a surprise that some politicians think today’s beer market is not competitive enough — and might even be in need of antitrust scrutiny to prevent potential beer monopolies from forming. Yet before politicians consider inserting the government into one of our most robust industries, they should crack open a cold one and review the facts, which simply don’t support this overreach.
