Message matta beers 1140 º places 91 º 17:32 Wed 10/12/2005 I got a booklet at GABF from the American Brewers Association filled with 2004 brewery statistics.. I was shocked by many of my findings! I wanted to share this with you guys… I find it fascinating and I feel it’s important on many different levels. First off: - Look at what it cost to be an Association member: http://www.beertown.org/craftbrewing/membership.html & Here is a list of 2004 barrelage outputs from some of America’s most notable breweries: 1,267,000 (bbls) - Boston Beer 589,937 (bbls) - Sierra Nevada 331,000 (bbls) – New Belgium 216,400 (bbls) – RedHook 199,000 (bbls) – Widmer Bro’s 142,533 (bbls) – Pyramid 90,400 (bbls) – Alaskan 89,083 (bbls) – Boulevard 86,681 (bbls) – Harpoon 83,599 (bbls) – Anchor 79,226 (bbls) – Full Sail 61,000 (bbls) – Mindocino 59,782 (bbls) – Summit 50,508 (bbls) - Shipyard 50,428 (bbls) – Goose Island 47,479 (bbls) – Bells / Kalamazoo 47,111 (bbls) – Magic Hat 45,050 (bbls) – Abita 44,800 (bbls) – Brooklyn Brewery 38,924 (bbls) – Rogue 31,974 (bbls) – Stone 30,048 (bbls) – Flying Dog 27,593 (bbls) – Great Lakes 25,909 (bbls) - Odell 24,800 (bbls) - New Glarus 20,200 (bbls) - Dogfish Head 18,000 (bbls) - Sweetwater 17,793 (bbls) – Boulder Beer 17,553 (bbls) – North Coast 9,120 (bbls) – St. Arnold 8,984 (bbls) – Left Hand 6,290 (bbls) – Highland 3,256 (bbls) – Real Ale Static’s like this really help put things into perspective…..

Message matta beers 1140 º places 91 º 18:01 Wed 10/12/2005 Originally posted by fly Avery? I don’t know… they didn’t make the cut for the 10 largest breweries in the Mountain West Region… so under (8,984 (bbls) – Left Hand) in 2004. I think I recall Adam saying that he would be around 15,000 (bbls) by the end of 2005?????
Message boto beers 2444 º places 104 º 19:55 Wed 10/12/2005 Victory? Hooker? Allagash? Any numbers on them???
Message 123456green beers 46 º 20:01 Wed 10/12/2005 Those numbers wouldn’t even be that good if not for guys like you and ratebeer.com. Keep up the good work and buying good beer guys!!
Message fly P beers 1490 º places 271 º 20:07 Wed 10/12/2005 Amazing how BIG some the names of tiny breweries can get. And well deserved I should add.

Message matta beers 1140 º places 91 º 20:25 Wed 10/12/2005 Originally posted by boto Victory? Hooker? Allagash? Any numbers on them??? I wish I did but I only have the numbers for the Top 10 Breweries in each of the 6 regions that the American Brewers Association recognizes. Northeast Region – Smallest of top 10 – DogFish – 20,200 (bbls) North Central Region – Smallest of top 10 – Sprecher – 10,442 (bbls) Pacific Northwest – Smallest of top 10- Mac & Jacks – 27,524 (bbls) Pacific Region – Smallest of top 10 – North Coast – 17,553 (bbls) Mountain West Region –Smallest of top 10 – Left Hand – 8,984 (bbls) South Region – Smallest of top 10 – Real Ale – 3,256 (bbls) If a brewery does not show up, it was not in the top 10 for it’s region or it just didn’t catch my attention, but all the most notable breweries did catch my attention.
Message npdempse beers 934 º places 16 º 22:29 Wed 10/12/2005 Super neat. It would be real interesting to see those broken down just a little by beer--Like how much of Anchor is Steam, how much of NB is Fat Tire.

It would be real interesting to see those broken down just a little by beer--Like how much of Anchor is Steam, how much of NB is Fat Tire. Would imagine that Anchor has something of a spread since Liberty does fairly well. On the tour I just took of NB my friend asked the very question - THINK he said that 70% was Fat Tire. If so, it backs up my sentiment that says beer geeks that bitch about certain beers they don’t adore should understand what bankrolls the beers they do love.
