The Brewers Association released its annual report of the top 50 U.S. breweries, disaggregated into top 50 overall breweries as well as top 50 craft breweries.
The craft brewing industry saw recovery growth on the heels of the COVID-19 pandemic, which radically changed beer consumption and production. Small and independent brewers produced 24.8 million barrels of beer and saw 8 percent growth. Craft beer’s overall beer market share by volume grew from 12.2 percent last year to 13.1 percent in 2021.
