ALBANY -- The number of farm-based craft beverage manufacturers in New York continues to soar -- with 433 new ones all across the state since 2012.

The growth has been extraordinary: a 150 percent increase since 2012, Gov. Andrew Cuomo said Thursday.

"New York's craft beverage industry is booming,” Cuomo said in a statement. “By cutting red tape to industry development, we have seen significant growth in the number of manufacturers supporting our local farms and spurring job creation across the Empire State.”

There are now 715 farm wineries, distilleries, cideries and breweries in New York.

That includes 72 farm-based craft beverage manufactures in the Southern Tier, 106 in the Mid-Hudson Valley, and 149 in the Finger Lakes region.

New York now also has 42 farm cideries, 123 farm distilleries, 202 farm breweries and 348 farm wineries.

The industry, fueled by consumer interest in home-grown alcohol, has benefitted in New York from loosened regulations and new incentives.

New York ranks fourth in the nation for the number of wineries; third for the number of breweries; second for the number of craft distilleries and first in the U.S. for the number of hard-cider producers, the state said.

In 2012, a state law exempted small breweries from paying an annual state liquor authority fee.
