Brewers Association releases the top 50 breweries of 2012.

Yesterday the Brewers Association released the top 50 craft breweries of 2012 and the top overall US brewing companies.  Deschutes was the highest Northwest brewery at number #5 in the top 50 craft breweries.  Also lots of other interesting Craft brewing statistics on the BA website that are worth taking a look at. Craft brewing facts, Sales, Number of breweries as of March 2013, Capita per brewery, Market segments, and Craft Brewer defined. 

Drink a beer while reading the statistics....I did.
