Boulder, Colorado — The Brewers Association, a nonprofit organization supporting small and independent American craft brewers, has released its annual rankings of the top 50 craft brewing companies and overall U.S. breweries based on beer sales volume. Impressively, 40 of the top 50 overall beer producers were small and independent craft breweries.
“While the craft beer market has become increasingly competitive—especially for regional brewers with broad distribution—these 50 independent breweries continue to lead the industry through strong branding, consistent quality, and ongoing innovation,” said Bart Watson, Chief Economist at the Brewers Association.
