The Brewer's Association posted their 2009 Top 50 Breweries Lists last Wednesday, in Boulder, CO. The BA compiled two separate lists: the Top 50 Craft Brewing Companies, which are made up of small and independent companies, and the Top 50 Overall Brewing Companies. Craft brewers make up over 75% of the list!
Where do your favorite New England breweries rank on the Top 50 Craft Brewing Companies list you ask? Well...
#1 Boston Beer Co. Boston, MA
#8 Magic Hat Brewing Co. Burlington, VT
#10 Harpoon Brewery Boston, MA
#21 Shipyard Brewery Portland, ME
#25 Long Trail Brewing Co. Bridgewater Corners, VT
Or how about the Top 50 Overall Brewing Companies?
#5 Boston Beer Co. Boston, MA
#15 Magic Hat Brewing Co. Burlington, VT
#17 Harpoon Brewery Boston, MA
#31 Shipyard Brewing Co. Portland, ME
#35 Long Trail Brewing Co. Bridgewater Corners, VT
I'd say that's a pretty impressive listing. They're competing against some truly great breweries in California, and the Pacific Northwest, and of course others throughout the US.
Check out the full listing at the Brewer's Association website!
