American Craft Beer|April 18th, 2024|

On April 16 the Brewers Association released its annual ranking of the top 50 producing craft brewing companies of 2020 based on sales volume.

But the 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 as well as craft breweries.

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 2023 followed by Molson Coors out of Chicago and Constellation Brands Constellation Brands, home to popular Mexican beer brands like Corona and Modelo.
