Craft Beer Goes Global

The move is to ensure that growth keeps happening

Craft beer has been hugely successful across the United States, but its popularity doesn’t stop at the border.  And the Brewers Association plans to keep it that way.

This week, BA announced that in 2017 the American craft brewing industry exported more than 482,000 barrels of product, valued at $125.4 million, to other parts of the world—a 3.6 percent increase from 2016. While Canada took in most of those imports (51.3 percent), significant shares went to the United Kingdom (10.5 percent), Sweden (6.7 percent), South Korea (4.6 percent), Australia (3.8 percent), and China (2.5 percent).

Since 2004, the association has worked hard to strengthen the sector’s export game with its Export Development Program, a subcommittee that helps educate brewers and market beers globally.
