Ten Year Trend
Each year says whether the brewery medaled. When it did not, the status says why there is nothing to count, including years before the brewery opened.
Medal History
Field is the number of entries in the category that year. Entries per medal divides the field by the medals awarded.

Estimated Scale

- Barrels per Year
- 10,001 (Brewery of the Year Size Bracket (E), Medium Confidence)
The midpoint of the Brewery of the Year size bracket it competed in (5,001 to 15,000 barrels): 10,001 barrels. Inputs: Barrels: 10,001 (brewery of the Year Size Bracket (E)); Brewery Type: Not Found, So an Assumed Generic Type Is Used; Locations: 3; Kitchen: Not Found, So No Food Revenue Is Added; Distribution: Not Found; Employees: Not Found.
- Equivalent
- 310,031 gallons, or 137,792 cases of 24 twelve ounce cans. About 992,099 sixteen ounce cans packaged (assuming 40% packaged) and 1,488,149 pints on draft.
- Revenue (ARR)
- $9M (range $6.3M to $12.2M, E)
10,001 barrels times $900 per barrel, the benchmark price for an assumed generic type, because no brewery type was found, gives $9,000,900 a year. The range shown is 0.7 to 1.35 times that. Inputs: Barrels: 10,001 (brewery of the Year Size Bracket (E)); Brewery Type: Not Found, So an Assumed Generic Type Is Used; Locations: 3; Kitchen: Not Found, So No Food Revenue Is Added; Distribution: Not Found; Employees: Not Found.
- Gross Margin
- 50% (gross profit $4.5M, E)
Annual revenue ($9,000,900) times a 50% gross margin, typical for an assumed generic type, because no brewery type was found, gives $4,500,450 of gross profit. Inputs: Barrels: 10,001 (brewery of the Year Size Bracket (E)); Brewery Type: Not Found, So an Assumed Generic Type Is Used; Locations: 3; Kitchen: Not Found, So No Food Revenue Is Added; Distribution: Not Found; Employees: Not Found.
- EBITDA
- $720K at 8% (range 5% to 11%, $450K to $990K, E)
Annual revenue ($9,000,900) times a 8% EBITDA margin, typical for an assumed generic type, because no brewery type was found, gives $720,072. The range uses 5% to 11%, typical for self distributed breweries. Inputs: Barrels: 10,001 (brewery of the Year Size Bracket (E)); Brewery Type: Not Found, So an Assumed Generic Type Is Used; Locations: 3; Kitchen: Not Found, So No Food Revenue Is Added; Distribution: Not Found; Employees: Not Found.
- Revenue per Barrel
