Despite California being, the leading craft beer producer, Vermont is the state with the most breweries per capita. In 2023, there were just under 15 breweries for every 100 thousand residents in Vermont. In contrast, California only had 3.4 breweries per 100 thousand inhabitants.
What defines a craft brewery?
A craft beer brewery is defined as one which produces less than six million barrels a year, is independently owned (less than 25 percent of the brewery can be owned by an alcoholic beverage company that is not a craft brewer), has a TTB (Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau) Notice, and of course, makes beer.
