While many beer lovers and brewers may have their own definition of Craft Beer, the Brewers Association does define the American Craft Brewer as Small, Independent & Traditional. Small refers to the annual production of the brew. In this case annual production is less than six million barrels which is approximately 3% of annual sales in the United States. Independent means that less than 25% of the Brewery is by a beverage alcohol industry member that is not itself a craft brewer. Last, but not least, Traditional is a brewer means that the majority of their beer flavors is derived from traditional or innovative brewing ingredients and their fermentation.
Craft Beer brewers saw an 18% rise in volume compared to only 0.5% for the total beer market in 2014 according to the Annual Growth Figures for Small and Independent Brewers released in March 2015 by the Brewers Association. More importantly the steady growth reported indicates that there is a major shift happening in the American beer culture.
