2015 Craft Beer in Review from the Brewers Association Reveals Historic Number of Breweries in U.S.; Most Since 1800’s. As of the end of November, there are now 4,144 breweries in the country, topping the historic high of 4,131 breweries in 1873.
Charles Barr gives an excellent recap of this article on Linked In – click here to read the full article
-
Brewery openings now exceed two a day.
-
Fifteen states are now home to more than 100 breweries: California, Washington, Colorado, Oregon, Michigan, New York, Pennsylvania, Illinois, Texas, Ohio, Florida, Virginia, North Carolina, Wisconsin, Indiana.
-
IPA remained the top style sold by independent craft brewers, and continues to grow faster than the overall craft category.
Over the coming year, nobody sees the Craft Beer train slowing down. In fact, the quality and quantity of Craft Beer should continue to grow, even in (or especially in) craft-dominated cities like Portland. Quality will continue to be important as more and more consumers know the difference between good and great beer. That doesn’t seem to slow people down – opening a brewery is a passion project and a great business idea when you do your homework.
We look forward to supporting more and more breweries in the coming years. Thanks to the 75 breweries that trust Rose City Label with their label needs – we take this responsibility seriously and we appreciate all the referrals you send our way.
Cheers!

For over 20 years Rose City Label has been providing foil stamped and embossed labels, but that capability is going to a whole new level soon!
Here is how this will help you:

- Better registration to other elements – printed logos and cutting die edges
- Faster setup and make ready for less waste and lower cost
- Larger image area – up to 9 x 9 – allows more efficient (lower cost) printing
- More powerful embossing impression for rich, sculptured embossing
Embossing gives your labels depth, class, and distinctiveness on the shelf. Set yourself apart with this upgrade today.

At Rose City Label, we don’t get to take credit for the beautiful, creative label designs our customers submit, but we do get to bring them to life on the printing press. This is another great new seasonal beer from SOB designed by Michael Lee of iDesign in Ashland, OR. Michael has great creative vision, but is always willing to work with us to provide the correct file type and designs to make the job press friendly. The end result isn’t just a beautiful Beer Label design, but also an excellent finished product on the bottle in your local store.
The combination of creative vision and excellent print quality is what helps SOB stand out on the shelf.
Thank you to all of our amazing customers that trust us with their printing.

We are very pleased to showcase another amazing label from Oak Knoll. Like many we have done over the years, this one was challenging, but we are all very happy with the end result. Our material selection, print process, foil stamp design and application all came together to make this an amazing label.
If you love great wine and great music, check out the Oak Knoll Summer Concert Series.
Feel free to bring a picnic basket, but no outside beverages please – buy some amazing Wine instead.

As supporters of the Oregon Brewing Industry, Rose City Label was proud to provide these promotional labels to local micro breweries. We are happy to report that this huge tax hike was voted down last month.
“Some good news on a Friday: the proposed beer tax raise in Oregon is dead, at least for now… Oregon currently boasts the country’s lowest tax — less than a penny a 12-oz. glass. After raising taxes on gas, hospitals, and the rich already this year, the Democratic party didn’t have the votes to push through one more increase. We’ll drink to that.” See the full article here
Thanks to everyone that joined the fight and called to request these free labels supporting Oregon Brewing.
