Yes, one surprise.

Matt Brewing Co. (Utica, NY)

Call me Johnny Reb, cause I've never heard of them and they're #11. I find it pretty comfortable under my rock.

Every brewery surrounding Abita is doing way more interesting stuff. It is high time they catch up

So Abita is #14 out of all breweries in the USA?

Is this some kind of sick joke?

OK, Huffington Post

Didn't read the article, but wondering if this number takes into account contract brew volume. For instance, Matt/Saranac brews for Costco (Full Sail for Miller?).

Wonder if thier numbers are inflated due to these revenue streams.

18th largest brewery in the country by volume, only available in Wisconsin. Damn, those cheese heads can drink some beer.

That LSU v Wisconson game in 2016 should be an awesome road trip. Lambeau Field, New Glarus, and get the watch the tigers kick the shite out of another Big10 team.

New Glarus is that high and still doesn't distribute out of Wisconsin?

A large number of breweries including CCB do collabs to avoid the issue of becoming a "macro micro" as it hides some of their production volume. The only surprise to me is Alaskan Brewing Co. I dont think I've ever seen or had one of their beers.

I'm also really surprised to see Deschutes and Bells above Stone and DFH.

Gambrinus in San Antonio?? I've been in Austin 10 yrs with frequent trips to SA. However, I've not heard of this brewer. What am I missing? What are their labels? At #4, HEB has to carry them right?
