The Patriot-News has a fascinating article about how Yuengling is poised to become the largest American owned brewer.
Although Yuengling produces a fraction of the amount of beer of say, Anheuser-Busch, the recent acquisitions of such huge American brands has left it on the verge of being #1.
Currently number one by a slim margin? Sam Adams.
Some are putting Pabst as the #1 American-owned, although they don't actually brew the beer. This blog post has a list of the top ten American-owned producers (including Pabst):
- Pabst Brewing Co.
- Boston Beer Co.
- D.G. Yuengling and Son Inc.
- Sierra Nevada Brewing Co.
- New Belgium Brewing Co. Inc.
- High Falls Brewing Co.
- Spoetzl Brewery
- Widmer Brothers Brewing Group
- Redhook Ale Brewery
- Pyramid Breweries Inc.
I think I like how the new face of American-owned brewers is shaping up.
