Texas is the third-highest beer-producing state in the U.S., new study shows

Texans love beer, consuming an average of 34.4 gallons per capita in 2021.

Turns out, we also produce a whole bunch of the sudsy stuff. New numbers from data-collating website Wisevoter rank Texas as the third-highest beer-producing state.

Indeed, the Lone Star State produced 19,905,802 barrels of beer in 2022, or 617,079,862 gallons of foamy, malty deliciousness. Of its total barrel count, more than 1 million were craft beers made by smaller breweries.

The only states ahead of Texas — Colorado and California — produced 20.9 million and 20.1 million barrels, respectively. Wisevoter used data from the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau to determine its rankings.
