Here's an answer I have posted many times on here with a list of quite a few commercial breweries that use or have used extract at one time or another.

One of my favorite Pico Breweries/wineries/coffeshop/cigar lounge in a rivertown an hour outside of Detroit, makes decent beer in small batches using Extract as well because this is their entire brewing/winemaking space.

And this is their main seating area for the brewery/winery part of the place (the coffee house part is in the front and a cigar lounge is in the middle of the building)

Even those 1 gallon jugs sold at homebrewshops or in kits usually come to the company selling it (like your local homebrewshops) in drums.

In fact many homebrewshops, actually sell the empty drums the extract came in to homebrewer as wine makes to use as large fermenters.
