Craft brewer definition revised

The board of directors of the Brewers Association (BA), the trade association representing the majority of U.S. brewing companies, has voted to change the BA’s designation of "small" in its definition of a "craft brewer." The association’s board of directors also has revised its bylaws to reflect the change. In the BA’s craft brewer definition, the term "small" now refers to any independent brewery that produces up to six million barrels of traditional beer. The previous definition capped production at two million barrels.
