The Brewers Association (BA) – the not-for-profit trade group representing small and independent craft brewers – today released its annual lists of the top 50 craft and overall brewing companies in the U.S., based on beer sales volume. Of the top 50 overall brewing companies, 43 were craft brewing companies.
“The top U.S. brewers continue to drive demand, growth, innovation, and exponential interest in beers from small and independents brewers,” said Bart Watson, chief economist, Brewers Association. “With a historic record number of breweries in the U.S., the top brewers continue to open new markets and expose beer drinkers to a variety of fuller-flavored styles and offerings.”
