Most recent batch of press releases: two new Anniversary beers are coming in 2009! Boulder Flashback celebrates 30 years for the Colorado brewery while Widmer 84/09 celebrates 25 years for the Portland brewery. The Beer Institute issued a release last week that beer indirectly inputs nearly $200 billion into the U.S. economy each year. Impressive. Lastly, hot off the press, the Brewers Association announced its annual list of top 50 overall breweries and top 50 craft breweries on Monday. Kona Brewery jumped over a dozen spots in the overall top 50 from last year. Deschutes Brewery and Iron City Brewing jumped four spots, both closing in on the top 10.
