Craft beer industry resources

Frequently, I get questions from students researching the beer industry and, in particular, the craft or micro brew industry. Here's some places to start when researching this topic.

Places to start in your research:

  • Brewer's Association of America

    • http://www.brewersassociation.org
    There are some craft brew stats here such as number of barrels, sales volume, etc.
  • Beer Institute

    • http://www.beerinstitute.org
    Quite a few stats here under the "Research" tab on the top of the homepage. Gallon consumption, shipments, productions, per capital consumption, alcohol expenditures.
  • North American Beer Industry

    • HD9397 .A1 N67 2007 Ref
    This book is in our reference collection. There is a good section on craft brewers with sales and market size stats.

    Other possible sources:
