Homebrew Sales Up 10% In 2013:

 According to the American Homebrewers Association’s most recent Homebrew Supply Shop Survey, sales of homebrewing supplies in the US increased by 10% in 2013. The survey examines 408 homebrewing shops in the continental United States. And almost all of them had increased their sales last year.
According to American Homebrewers Association Director Gary Glass, “Homebrewing is on the rise, both as a hobby and a business. With the U.S. now home to some 1.2 million homebrewers, supply shops are experiencing solid growth. The growth in homebrew supply businesses means it is easier than ever for Americans to get into the hobby of homebrewing.”  more... homebrew-sales
