"Since the advent of the craft beer revolution, great breweries have popped up in every corner of the United States, with almost 10,000 breweries operating in the country as of 2023. That's up from only around 90 in the '70s, when macrobrews like Budweiser and Coors were at their most dominant. Anheuser-Busch and Molson Coors still rule beer production in the country, with both brands controlling a little more than half of the U.S. market."
"Colorado used to be known as the home of Coors. But, Molson Coors - which also owns Miller, Foster's, and Blue Moon among other brands - moved its headquarters to Chicago, Illinois in 2023. However, Coors flagship brewery in Golden, Colorado is still active - and is actually the largest brewery in the United States. Coors is not alone there, either. Anheuser-Busch also has a major brewing facility in Fort Collins, Colorado."
Beer production in the United States spans the entire country, with the craft beer revolution producing nearly 10,000 breweries by 2023 compared with about 90 in the 1970s. Anheuser-Busch and Molson Coors together control a little more than half of the U.S. market. Production is measured in total barrels by the U.S. Department of the Treasury's Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau. In 2024 Colorado led all states with just over 18 million barrels, followed by Ohio (17 million) and Texas (14 million). Colorado hosts both Coors' flagship brewery in Golden and an Anheuser-Busch facility in Fort Collins.
