Figures for 1970 indicate a total of 5,749,000 barrels for the F. & M. Schaefer Brewing Co., good for fifth place, but a mere one quarter of No. 1 Anheuser-Busch, Inc.'s 22,201,811, a third of No. 2 Jos. Schlitz Brewing Co.'s 15,129,000, and a quarter of No. 3 Pabst Brewing Co.'s 10,517,000.[2] Number 4 Adolph Coors Co.'s 7,277,076 barrels only gained ground on the front-runners during the decade.
