Beer Sales Statistics: Top 15 American Craft Beer Products

Written by

I saw an article from BeverageWorld.com that laid out the top 15 beers based on sales, and thought it was pretty interesting. Here’s the scoop:

  1. Sierra Nevada Pale Ale ($50,426,000)
  2. Samuel Adams Seasonal ($50,000,300)
  3. Samuel Adams Boston Lager ($47,286,900)
  4. New Belgium Fat Tire Amber Ale ($32,149,700)
  5. Shiner Bock ($20,892,900)
  6. Samuel Adams Variety Pack ($18,751,600)
  7. Widmer Hefeweizen ($17,246,800)
  8. Samuel Adams Light ($16,691,000)
  9. Sierra Nevada Seasonal ($14,711,400)
  10. Redhook Long Hammer IPA ($10,053,800)
  11. Deschutes Mirror Pond Pale ($9,116,500)
  12. Pyramid Haywire ($8,776,300)
  13. New Belgium Seasonal ($8,604,000)
  14. Redhook ESB ($8,393,300)
  15. Alaskan Amber ($6,428,400)

I think it’s pretty interesting … don’t you? Of all the craft beer sales in the US, Samuel Adams/Boston Beer Company is absolutely destroying everyone else, with $132,728,900. Whoa. I also think it’s interesting that Redhook’s IPA is the only IPA on the list. And I’ve never even heard of Widmer Hefeweizen…

Thoughts, anyone?

  1. The really interesting part is what percentage Sam Adams sales make up when you look at the industry as a whole. It’s not even a drop in the bucket for inbev. I was suprised widmer made the list. It’s a decent hefe but I had no idea it sold that much

  3. The more time I spend in the craft beer world, the more I’m surprised at a majority of the beers on this list. Weird.
