		The figures from IBS show craft brews, beers produced by brewpubs, microbreweries, regional specialty brewers and contract brewers, up by 1.2% for 2001.
		One thing that has been misunderstood about their industry, according to craft brewers, is the rather dramatic shakeout of players that started in 1996 and, some say, continues even today.
		When asked where their companies ranked in size in the industry, many brewers quipped, "It depends on whom you ask." Some craft-beer statistics, for example, do not include contract brewers, companies whose brands are made, under contract, by breweries the company doesn't own.
