The state ranks first in U.S. for the number of hard cider producers, second in craft distillers, third in breweries, and fourth in the country for the total number of wineries officials said.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe growth of New York\u2019s craft beverage industry continues to boost local economies throughout the entire state,\u201d Gov. Andrew Cuomo said. \u201cBy working to remove barriers to expansion, we have helped foster new opportunities for small businesses and will continue to support breweries, wineries, cideries and distilleries as they develop their brands, create new jobs and drive tourism all over New York.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThanks to New York\u2019s tireless efforts to cut red tape, craft beverage manufacturers are thriving like never before in communities across the state,\u201d said Lt. Gov. Kathy Hochul. \u201cWe\u2019re committed to growing the industry and attracting manufacturers to New York with new markets for their products, resulting in significant job creation. The craft beverage industry is soaring, creating new opportunities and boosting tourism in every region of the state.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Since October of 2012, 538 new craft businesses have opened, including 285 new craft breweries, 96 wineries, 95 distilleries, 39 new cideries and 23 new producers that are licensed to produce multiple types of alcoholic beverages. In the last year alone, 64 new craft breweries, 22 new wineries, 15 new craft distilleries and seven new cideries have opened in New York state.<\/p>\n<p>The resurgence of New York\u2019s craft manufacturing industry has touched all corners of the state, with every region experiencing significant gains. The growth of craft beverage businesses by region can be found here.<\/p>\n<p>Regional highlights include the Capital Region, that includes Saratoga Washington and Warren Counties, which added 62 new craft beverage manufacturers, the third highest in the state. The region led the state with a 1,000 percent increase in the number of off-site tasting rooms.<\/p>\n<p>The growth of the state\u2019s craft beverage industry has also directly benefited New York\u2019s farmers by increasing the demand for locally sourced farm products, state officials said.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>According to Cornell University, the acreage of hops grown in New York has nearly doubled from 2014 to 2016, and the acreage of malting barley has increased by 374 percent in the same two-year period &#8211; from 422 to approximately 2,000 acres. New York is also now home to 13 malt houses, all of which have opened following the creation of the new farm brewery license. At the same time, the growth of agri-tourism in the craft beverage sector further bolsters New York\u2019s massive $100 billion tourism industry.<\/p>\n<p>State Liquor Authority Chairman Vincent Bradley said every new brewery, winery, cidery and distillery that opens \u201chelps to drive local and state economies by providing new jobs, driving tourism and supporting the state\u2019s agricultural sector. The Empire State is quickly becoming one of the country\u2019s premiere craft beverage destinations, and this administration\u2019s continued support of the industry will only further its record-breaking growth.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>State Agriculture Commissioner Richard A. Ball said, \u201cThe growth of the industry has had a tremendous ripple effect in our communities, including benefiting our farmers who are supplying fresh ingredients and high-quality agricultural crops for unique varietals of beers, wines, spirits and ciders.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Empire State Development President, CEO and Commissioner Howard Zemsky said with more than 1,000 producers statewide, New York\u2019s craft beverage industry \u201cis stronger than ever.
