Consolidation is a ways off. The large beer producers have acquired a few craft producers in the last few years, but the artisan beverage market will continue to grow in both number of firms and amount of production.

I think it will be at least another 10 years until we start seeing large craft brewers purchasing smaller craft brewers. This has already happened in coffee with Blue Bottle (venture backed) purchasing Tonx Coffee and Handsome Roasters. Artisan Coffee has had ~10 years of growth on Craft Beer.
