In 2013, the founder was ranked as the third largest brewery in the world, but after 2014, there was no place for the founder in the list of such craft breweries. That's because in 2014, the Spanish brewing company Mahou-San Miguel acquired a 30 percent stake in the founders, and according to the Brewers Association, craft breweries cannot be made up of more than 25 percent of the shares owned by the brewers or other organizations outside the company. In this definition, the founder is no longer a craft brewery.
