What are the Top Breweries in the USA?

Answer:
According to the Brewers Association

they have compiled a list of the top U.S. (domestic) based breweries. The list is dependent upon 2006 sales. I'm not sure if it's volume of sales or revenue of sales. Either way below are their results and there shouldn't be any big surprises here.

1. Anheuser-Busch
Of course Bud Light and Budweiser are Anheuser Busch's top brands. Busch Light and Natural Light would likely rank in the top 10 but sales aren't close to the two main behemoths. Anheuser Busch is located in St. Louis Missouri.

2. Miller Brewing
Miller Brewing makes Miller Lite which is likely one of the top 5 domestics sold in the USA. Miller Brewing also makes Miller High Life and Genuine Draft both are significantly less popular than Miller Lite. Miller Brewing is headquartered in Milwaukee Wisconsin.

3. Coors Brewing
Coors Brewing based in Golden Colorado sells Coors Light and Coors Original to name a few.

4. Pabst Brewing
Pabst Brewing sells a dozen or more brands but their top selling brand is Pabst Blue Ribbon. Pabst is located in San Antonio Texas.

5. Boston Beer Company
Boston Beer Company makes the Samuel Adams suite of beers. Believe it or not, Boston Beer Company is located in Boston Massachusetts.

6. D. G. Yuengling and Son
Coined as America's oldest Brewery Yuengling makes quite a few beer flavors branded under the Yuengling name. D.G. Yuengling and Son is located in Pottsville Pennsylvania.

7. Sierra Nevada Brewing
Probably competing most with the Boston Beer Company Sierra Nevada makes some finer brews such as a Pale Ale, Porter, Wheat and Stout. Sierra is located in Chico California.

8. Gambrinus
You may not be familiar with Gambrinus but I almost guarantee you know their beers. They make the ever popular Shiner beer brands and Pete's Wicked Ale. Gambrinus is located in San Antonio Texas.

9. New Belgium Brewing
Located in Fort Collins Colorado, New Belgium Brewing's top beer brand is the Fat Tire.

10. High Falls Brewing
High Falls Brewing's most popular beer is the Honey Brown. High Falls calls Rochester New York their home.
