Of the top 50 breweries overall, 40 were small and independent craft breweries.
"The COVID-19 pandemic drastically changed where Americans purchased alcohol in 2020. Breweries that had established packaging and distribution capabilities were best positioned to take advantage of the boom in out-of-home sales and weather the market uncertainty," said Bart Watson, chief economist for the Brewers Association. "These companies also saw differences in performance based on geography and business model, with different parts of the country experiencing very different beer trends and breweries with high barrel shares suffering."
The Brewers Association's full 2020 Industry Analysis, which highlights regional trends and sales for individual breweries, will be published in the May/June issue of The New Brewer®, due out in May 2021.
