    Perhaps Pyramid is relatively low because, as I understand it, much of their production is in Portland now. Or maybe they don't sell that much beer anymore...:sunglasses:.
    The one that surprises me is Mark Anthony Brands.

    Unless I'm wrong, these numbers are for what has been purchased by in state distributors for distribution. This does not reflect what was actually produced in state or even sold. With that in mind, I'm shocked too. I would have sworn pyramid was like 60k bbls or more.

    I think Canada but could be wrong. This was from the list of out-of-state suppliers.

    Correct... with the addition that this figure includes RETAIL beer sold in a Taproom plus any self-distributed beer from the license location in question. Pyramid's numbers reflect that very little is brewed here in-state so they don't show on that particular list.

    I was wondering the same thing. Maybe they took that month off for vacation...?

    Thanks tozerm! Any possibility you could post a link to a barrel report? I'd love to check the in state and out of state stats every month. Like who is popular etc.
    Cheers

    Same thought. Didn't they upgrade their brewhouse a while back? Under that assumption (IIRC) aren't some of the others on that list way above Two Beers still little 1 BBL operations? Ie Foggy Noggin?

    McMenamins is listed five times and Elysian is listed three times in the complete list (I realize, this is probably due to different brewing facilities). That, combined with the Pyramid/Two Beers rankings, makes me question the validity of some of the data.

    It is per license... and what is sold, from the brewery not sold at retail, per month... so ya, the numbers need some massaging.

    This was from March.. it could be a variety of reasons including maybe they didn't get their full report in on time....

    I didn't realize Ellersick sold that much. And an attaboy to Kulshan, only open a year, and in the top 30. I thought Rocky Coulee had shut down?

    The report is correct. We report every month or more based on size to the Feds and state and pay our dear taxes accordingly. No cheating allowed. Of the things our state does Rita, one is collect taxes on small business.
