I'm sure Harry Schuhmacher knows more than I do about trends in the beer industry, but it just seems that in the past 10 years or so, the whole microbrewery-as-restaurant concept has become more popular, which would expose drinkers to different beers. I think Rock Bottom was the first place I actually tried a microbrew rather than a run of the mill brewski, which got me interested in trying new things. That may be why higher end beers are enjoying more of a growth than the middle of the road ales.
It's definitely easier to get microbrews than it used to be. As evidenced by the fact that people at my class reunion were drinking them.
