How Much Is Out There? 4.5 Million Barrels of “High End” Growth (Average) - 2 Million for Imports - 1 Million for Superpremium = 1.5 M for “Craft” - 250K for Large Brewer Craft - 250K for new breweries (~800 to 1,000* 250 to 300 barrels) A million barrels left… split between 7,000 breweries Micros (20% growth = 1.25M-.25 [new] = 1M) Regionals (?)
So far in Production Survey… • Micros and brewpubs collectively at 20%+ (couple thousand) • Not including new breweries • Rest of the group looking more like a zero sum game
