Now I’m enraged! Biggest isn’t best!
bstriddy:

Sorry, but this chart is a nonsense. If you read the fine print, you’ll find that the ranking is by sales volume. I’m not sure what exactly qualifies a brewer as craft, but I feel quite certain that sales volume is typically contraindicative of craft. (I do mean typically, not necessarily.)
Checking the Bay Area and seeing Gordon Biersch is what tipped me off that this is bogus. No Russian River, no Bear Republic?! Michigan at least has Bells, but what about Jolly Pumpkin and Leelanau? I call PSHAW.
