Anheuser-Busch InBev may be the top beer manufacturer in the world, but it has a way to go in spirits. “We are the competition,” A-B CEO Michel Doukeris said of the company’s position in the spirits category during Thursday’s Q2 earnings call.
Tilray Brands chairman and CEO Irwin Simon had a message for Wall Street during the company’s full-year fiscal year 2026 earnings call: “We are no longer defined by one category, one market or one regulatory outcome.”
Boston Beer Company has found another growth driver with its spirits-based hard tea brand Sun Cruiser, which continues to deepen its distribution footprint. But the hot ticket item continues to be unable to stop flooding volume from its sibling brands, as the company recorded yet another quarter of shipments and depletions losses.
During a call with investors and analysts on Thursday, Craft Brew Alliance CEO Andy Thomas characterized the company’s second quarter results as “another win,” even though company-wide depletions dipped 2 percent amidst pressure from more than 5,500 breweries competing for an evolving consumer set that Thomas called “alien.”
Molson Coors today reported its second quarter earnings results, which were highlighted by a 2.3 percent increase in global brand volumes, to 26.4 million hectoliters.
After revenue and depletions declined 14 percent during the first quarter of 2017, Boston Beer Company rebounded in Q2, today reporting revenue growth of 1 percent and depletion decreases of just 3 percent versus the same period a year ago. In a press release, the company – which makes Samuel Adams beer, Angry Orchard Hard Cider, Twisted Tea, Truly Spiked & Sparkling seltzers and other offerings — said it sold nearly 1.1 million barrels of product during the 13-week period ending July 1, 2017. The company sold about the same amount of liquid during the second quarter of 2016.
Anheuser-Busch InBev today reported its second-quarter and half-year earnings results, outlining global revenue growth of 5 percent in Q2 despite continued challenges in the U.S., the company’s largest individual market.
