Drum roll…Brewers Association releases the Top 50 brewing companies by sales volume for 2020

March 31, 2021Pretty Much a Press Release

Yesterday, the Brewers Association — the not-for-profit trade association dedicated to small and independent American brewers — released its annual list of the top 50 producing craft brewing companies and overall brewing companies in the U.S., based on beer sales volume. Of the top 50 overall brewing companies, 40 were small and independent craft brewing companies (craft is defined by this definition).

“The COVID-19 pandemic drastically changed where Americans purchased alcohol in 2020. Breweries who had established packaging and distribution capacity were best positioned to take advantage of the boom in off-premise sales and weather market uncertainty,” said Bart Watson, chief economist, Brewers Association. “These businesses also saw variation in performance based on geography and business model, with different parts of the country seeing very different beer trends, and draught-heavy breweries suffering.”

Drum roll, please…

Wow. Non-alcoholic beer maker Athletic Brewing was the 27th biggest craft brewery in America in 2021
