Yesterday, the Brewers Association released its annual ranking of the Top 50 producing craft brewing companies of 2020 based on sales volume.
But he Boulder, Colorado-based not-for-profit also does a ranking of overall brewing companies in the US, which includes big beer companies like Anheuser-Busch and Molson Coors.
It is interesting to note that of the top 50 overall brewing companies, 40 were small and independent craft brewing companies.
Not surprisingly AB InBev’s Anheuser-Busch remained America’s leading brewery in 2020 followed by Molson Coors out of Chicago and Constellation Brands, home to popular Mexican beer brands like Corona and Modelo.
