Six Colorado breweries made the Brewer’s Association’s top-50 craft brewery list based on 2009 sales volume.
It’s no surprise that New Belgium came in at No. 3. Only Boston Beer Co. and Sierra Nevada were ahead of it.
Next up was Odell Brewing Co. at 33, followed by Rock Bottom Brewery Restaurants at 34.
The big surprise on the list was Oskar Blues, which came in at 44 and made its first appearance on the list. I know I contributed a bit to their success.
Breckenridge Brewery came in at 46 and Boulder Beer Co. came in at 49.
The Brewer’s Association also ranked the top-50 overall breweries, which included the Big Boys.
On that list New Belgium came in 7th, Odell 44th and Rock Bottom 45th.

I’ve had beers from 26 of the top-50 craft brewers, so I’ve got quite the list to go!
