Although the world of microbreweries is considered a niche market (5% of the total U.S. market for beer, according to the Brewers Association), these specialty brewers are currently the fastest-growing segment of the beverage alcohol industry.

That’s one of the reasons why Harbor Brewing Company Inc (HBWO) is our TOP PICK at Spartan Stocks 300. Make sure to place this company on your watch list.

Here’s the basics about HBWO:

• Sackets Harbor Brewing Company - a holding of Seaway Valley Capital Corporation - develops, produces and markets micro brewed beers such as the award winning "1812 Amber Ale" (its flagship brand) and "Railroad Red Ale" as well as "Thousand Island Pale Ale," "1812 Amber Ale Light" and "Harbor Wheat" specialty beers.
• "1812 Amber Ale" was the winner of a Silver Award at the 1998 World Beer Championship and has been aggressively marketed to command a significant retail presence in the regional market place.
• Management estimates 1812 Ale has an approximate 15% category market share within its primary distribution area and distributes keg and bottled beer to more than 300 locations in northern New York.
• The company has also developed complementary products such Sackets Harbor Coffee and Sackets Harbor Brewing Co. Root Beer.
• Management is now focused on positioning the 1812 brand portfolio for growth outside the region. 

As mentioned before, the microbrewery industry has been strong and steady as the big commercial brewers have been stagnant. Microbrewery professionals agree the trend toward independent brews is moving upward.

"Consumers are trending towards local, independent products," said Bob Pease, chief operating officer of the Colorado-based Brewers Association, which represents about 1,100 U.S. craft brewers. "We're seeing crossovers to small and independent craft brewers from wine drinkers and spirits drinkers who are willing to pay a bit more, and who are maybe trading up from the beer they've consumed previously -- the domestic light lagers. THE GROWTH RATE IS REALLY ACCELERATING."

Sales volumes for the microbrewery segment were UP NEARLY 12% in the first half of the year. HBWO has definitely been riding that wave of aggressive growth:

• HBWO: July sales increased 33% over the previous year.
• HBWO: Management authorized a share reduction to 250 MILLION.
• HBWO: Filing an S1 Registration Statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission: Includes audited financials for the years 2008, 2009 and 1Q 2010.

Chairman and President of HBWO Thomas Scozzafava stated about the company’s sales growth, "We were very pleased with the increase in traffic and business this summer, and we hope this strength continues." 

Plus, its location - in Sackets Harbor, New York - is in the CENTER of the hotspot for microbreweries in the U.S. According to the Beverage Marketing Corporation, the U.S. Northeast region is the greatest producer of craft beer by barrel volume. And production has grown - increasing significantly year over year.

With its hot sales number earlier in the year, HBWO is looking to expand in other regions and grab some more market share for this year and beyond. As the economy is slowly trending for the better, management has positioned itself for positive gain with a marketing plan to introduce its award-winning brand of beers plus future plans for a full-scale brewery.

Also from the technical standpoint – as of market close Friday, HBWO was trading above its 50- and 200-day moving averages… from the looks of things, it’s READY TO GO!!!
