Whats up all. I ran across this article this morning and I thought it was pretty cool. It is the top 20 Craft Brews brewed in the US. The Craft market is definitely booming and it is cool to see how much so in the past few years. So you don't have to go and read through it if you dont want here is the list. It is set up as Company and then top selling brands under it. I didnt add the stats, but in the article they show how much the increase in sales has been since 2010. Most of them are in the 4-10% range, except for Lagunitas with a whopping 55% increase in 2 years.

that list is a bunch of bullshit

all they did was take the top 20 producing brewing companies by bbls per year and throw them on a list

they did not factor in ratings on any of their beers

I KNOW MAN! Bud Light wasnt even on the list!!!!
 
When Marines get bored, we throw rocks, when Brewers get bored, they dip their balls in the mix....THAT is why Southern Tier isn't on the list...

Well....yeah. That is exactly what they did. It's all about business news and trends. The article has nothing to do with reviews or ratings. :cheers:
