Brewer’s Association Lists Top 50 Breweries
The Brewers Association has just published its annual list of top craft and overall brewing companies in the U.S., based on 2012 beer sales volume.
Many would say that it’s a list full of good news, and while I agree I’m not at all surprised by it and I can’t imagine anyone else is either. 39 of the top 50 overall brewing companies are small and independent craft breweries – which is pretty amazing, yet 39 of the top 50 still only make up slightly more than six percent of the total U.S. beer market.
Slow and steady growth is good but maybe I was hoping for a bit more of an upset.

Dry Hopped Bud Light
No, your eyes aren’t deceiving you; I’m dry hopping Bud Light today. I borrowed this idea from one of the brewers at Anchor Brewing. He mentioned on a Brewing Network interview that this is his favorite way to see the differences between different hop varieties. They just buy a 12er of Bud Light, pop the caps, drop in a few pellets, and then taste the differences. It sounded like a great idea to me, so here we go!
There isn’t too much to talk about in terms of a ‘how-to’. Label and sanitize your caps, pop the caps, drop in some pellets, and re-cap. It’s a pretty straight forward process. I keep all my hops in mason jars, so it’s a pretty simple process for me to open a jar, steal a few pellets, and seal it back up with the foodsaver. The only real question was how many pellets to add to each bottle.

Everything Sold At The Yankees’ New “Craft Beer” Stand Is Owned By MillerCoors, And Half Of Them Aren’t Actually Beers
I do not say this lightly: beer snobs might be the worst people in the world. But not even they deserve to be locked in Yankee Stadium for four hours, with the only unconventional option being this dinky and confused beer stand with four drinks on tap, all behemoth-brewed by the MillerCoors conglomerate.
Amanda Rykoff was the only person who went to Yankees opening day yesterday, and she discovered something new for 2013. The “Craft Beer Destination,” which isn’t just a way to part fans from their $12(!) for middle-shelf, mass-produced beers: it’s a destination. For Blue Moon and Batch 19 lager, the only beers it sells. Leinenkugel’s Summer Shandy is at least made with beer, while Crispin Cider is pretty obviously not.
