If you started a new packaging brewery in the last couple of years, you entered the industry in a truly golden time. Craft beer sales are continuing to grow rapidly.

Featured Stories

Brewpubs

Stan Hieronymus

Brewpubs sold 245 million pints in 2013. Each one provided an opportunity to tell a unique story, whether at a new brewery or one that’s been around for decades.

Micros

Jack Curtin

Craft microbrewery production grew slightly more than 25% in 2013, reaching 2,320,062 barrels. In all, 304 new breweries opened and only 20 existing ones closed.

Regionals

Greg Kitsock

The BA reports 119 regionals for 2013, adding more than 1.7 million barrels to craft beer’s total volume. That includes a bumper crop of 20 newcomers to the segment.

Imports + Large Breweries

Harry Schuhmacher

High-end craft, imports, ciders, and flavored malt beverages are gaining share against the beleaguered domestic premium and sub-premium beer segments.

A Note From the Editor

Jill Redding, Editor-in-Chief

This issue also includes our usual informative departments, plus brewery-generated news about the craft brewing community in the Brewery Updates and Beer Releases sections; and new products and services from the allied trade in Industry Supplier News. In our back-page interview, we highlight Cyrena Nouzille, owner of Ladyface Ale Companie in California.

Cheers, and we hope you enjoy this issue of The New Brewer.
