Our friends at the Brewers Association just released their annual list of the Top 50 American Craft Breweries of 2021…And, as always, we found it interesting and thought you might as well.
They also included a ranking of overall breweries too which led with the usual suspects (AB InBev, Miller and Pabst now #3) which is interesting if only for the fact that 4O of those overall companies, were craft breweries.
And here are last year’s “Serious” Top 50….Respect.
