(Just remember not to get _too_ trashed [because you’ll cause problems](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c0yDQvRQQ4E "undefined").) Sadly, though, in-flight adult beverage options tend to be pretty disappointing. This week, however, Delta Airlines passengers will have a new option: craft beer. Yup, Delta will[ soon be serving](http://news.delta.com/2014-12-05-Delta-Taps-Seven-More-Craft-Brews-for-In-Flight-Offering "undefined") beer from the following craft breweries: * Ballast Point Brewing Company (San Diego) * Blue Point Brewing Company (Long Island, NY) * Brooklyn Brewery (Brooklyn, NY) * Lagunitas Brewing Company (Petaluma, Calif.) * Newburyport Brewing Company (Newburyport, Mass.) * Samuel Adams (Boston) * Stone Brewing Company (Escondido, Calif.) * SweetWater Brewery (Atlanta) Has craft beer — the sweet, sweet nectar of urban hipsters trying to impress their friends who are in town for the weekend — officially jumped the shark? No, worse. It has boarded a plane and flown over the shark. So, the next time that one co-worker of yours who, at an awkward group happy hour, raises an eyebrow at your Yuengling and snidely remarks, “I only drink _craft_ beer,” you can be all, “Oh, like the kind they serve on planes?” ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3625163/craft-beer-delta-hipsters/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3625163/craft-beer-delta-hipsters/"},"headline":"Craft Beer Officially Isn't Cool Anymore Because Delta Will Begin Selling It On Flights","datePublished":"2014-12-09T16:01:07.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:15:08.275Z","description":"Though it's not yet known if they'll serve it in mason jars","url":"https://time.com/3625163/craft-beer-delta-hipsters/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Beer","Food","Business topic","Delta"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt633dc8af47232bb2/69876d998e06014447459196/521077301.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Samantha Grossman","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/samantha-grossman/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt633dc8af47232bb2/69876d998e06014447459196/521077301.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"craft beer","caption":"521077301","creditText":"Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3625163/craft-beer-delta-hipsters/","name":"Craft Beer Officially Isn't Cool Anymore Because Delta Will Begin Selling It On Flights"}}]}] ```
