Any ties were broken by the highest-ranking beer. Stacker compiled a list of the breweries with the most top 100 ranked beers in California using data from BeerAdvocate. While craft beer often has a higher price tag than your average domestic beer, consumers are clearly willing to pay more: In 2020, craft beer accounted for almost a quarter of the U.S. The last decade has seen an explosion of breweries that operate on a smaller scale and offer a wider, and sometimes more experimental, selection of beer.

Many are offering to-go cans and crowlers - here’s a list - and those that aren’t have created gift card links and crowdfunding campaigns for laid off and furloughed employees.

While packaged distributed volume is up nearly 10% (because drinkers are buying cans and bottles to consume at home), it’s not making up for the total loss of draft beer sales. Bart Watson, Chief Economist for the Brewers Association, points out a sort of misconception around what some believe to be a boom in can sales.
