Top Ten Craft Breweries
Yuengling, the oldest operating brewery in the U.S., uses corn in its beer. The trade organization lifted the all-barley requirement in 2014, opening the door for Yuengling, August Schell Brewing Company and Narragansett Brewing Company to get the craft designation.

You can’t be craft if you make more than 6 million barrels of beer a year (Budweiser brews about 40 million barrels a year).
