glbc ranks as 22nd largest craft brewery

Great Lakes Brewing Company has announced that it has been ranked the 22nd largest American craft brewery. GLBC was previously ranked number twenty-three.

"GLBC reported 91,189 barrels sold in 2010. GLBC also ranked as the 31st largest brewery in the US (Anheuser–Busch Inc. ranked 1st). GLBC does not contract brew; 100% of product is produced onsite in its Cleveland-based brewery."

GLBC made many improvements throughout its brewery last year, including a new centrifuge, additions to the brewhouse for increased speed and quality, a new grain silo, and additional storage and fermentation tanks.

The company also added 15 new positions and plans to create at least nine more in the next few years.
