There are now approximately, when combined, 500 California breweries and breweries-in-planning
Dan Wandel presented national and California-specific (off-premise) beer statistics. Craft in NorCal currently owns 24.5% share, where in SoCal craft has 10.5% share. No surprise, IPAs are the top craft style in California (surpassing pale ales). By the end of the year Dan sees craft exceeding 15 dollar share in California supermarkets, with IPAs likely getting to 30 share of total craft dollar in California supermarkets by EOY 2013.
