The Brewers Association has listed their Top 50 Breweries of 2014, and two Maine breweries have made the list!

The Brewers Association is a not-for-profit organization that represents craft brewers all across America.  The list is based on "beer sales volume."

On the Craft Beer List, look for the Shipyard Brewing Company at #25, and Allagash Brewing Company at #42, both based in Portland.

Add in the big boys like Anheuser-Busch and Miller, and Shipyard comes in at #31, and Allagash comes in at #50 on the overall list.

Craft beer continues to rise in popularity.  The Brewers Association now says that one out of every ten beers consumed in America is a craft brew.

“The companies on this list include the vanguard of the craft industry,” said Bart Watson, chief economist of the Brewers Association on their website. “They are exposing new beer lovers to craft, opening new markets and creating opportunities for the entire category. As they continue to grow, so will the availability of innovative and high-quality beers produced for all to enjoy.”
