Thursday is National Beer Day. 

Ahead of the holiday, the Brewers Association, a trade association that represents craft brewers in the U.S., released its annual craft brewing industry production report. 

According to the Brewers Association, a brewery is considered craft if it is a "small and independent brewer." That means the brewery produces 6 million barrels of beer or less per year and less than 25% of the brewery is owned by a non-craft brewer industry member.

In its annual report, the Brewers Association also published a list of the top 50 craft brewing companies, based on their beer sales volume. 

Though the top 10 brewers on the list are very similar to last year’s list, there are a few changes.
