The other day I came across some really interesting info on the sales numbers of taxable barrels of malt beverages reported to the Oregon Liquor Control Commission so far this year from Oregon breweries. The numbers only reflect sales through March, which is the most recent published report, but they are quite revealing and could launch numerous articles. Breweries are listed from largest volume to smallest based on year-to-date sales. The first number after each brewery's name is the barrels sold during the month of March, and the second number the barrels year-to-date.

What's the total for all the Mcmennamins breweries? Wonder how they actually rank...
ReplyDeleteGreat write up. But I am also curious to see where McMen's would rank.
ReplyDeleteAccording to my math, McMenamins has collectively produced and sold 4,648.86 BBL YTD in Oregon. This would put them at a solid #8.
ReplyDeleteEzra: this is a list of Oregon brewed and consumed beers. I know that Ninkasi's total production isn't as large as Rogue, Full Sail, McT's or Bridgeport's even though we out sell them in Oregon.
ReplyDeleteThese numbers are worth following. You can see a list of monthly reports going back years here. It's worth remembering that these are Oregon-only sales, and companies like Deschutes and Widmer sell a lot of beer outside the state.
ReplyDeleteIs the Widmer/Redhook number accurate? 100,000 in March and 24,000 YTD?
