Of the top 50 overall brewing companies, 39 are small and independent craft brewing companies. All rankings are based on 2012 beer sales volume.
“In 2012, craft surpassed 6% of the total US beer market, with volume and dollar sales reaching record levels,” said Paul Gatza, director, Brewers Association. “Increasingly, beer lovers are turning to craft brewed beer from small and independent producers to satisfy their thirst for bold, innovative and flavour-forward beers.”
