a few months back i was in San Diego and was drinking with a beer distributor at a bar.
We had a long conversation and i was sad to learn that Bud, Coors, Miller, and the like are not American owned in the least any more.
Yeungling is the largest American owned Brewery. Which is sad because it's the largest, and I can't even get it in TX.
Shiner, Sam Adams, St. Arnolds, etc.are still niche players, but as long as America drinks the swill put out by the big boys, they'll never get too much bigger.

Not everything is about 'growth', at least not as you see it.
It's not about micro brews getting large enough to distribute nationally, or get up there with the big boys.
It's about getting lots of microbreweries to service their local area, and collectively taking a large chunk away from the big players.
