Circana

The misaligned Labor Day holiday caused a deceiving sea of red in the latest weekly scans report from market research firm Circana.

Some top beer brands are experiencing a late-summer boost in spite of the category’s summer slump, according to the latest weekly off-premise scans from market research firm Circana.

Two of the beer category’s largest growth vendors reversed trends in the four-week period (L4W) ending August 9, according to the latest monthly report from market research firm Circana. Worsening grocery channel losses pushed No. 1 Anheuser-Busch InBev (A-B) into decline in the L4W, accelerating a pattern that began in July.

Consumers started to feel a bit more comfortable with their financial situations this summer, but that sentiment appears to be waning again, according to a new report from market research firm Circana.

Craft beer’s summertime blues deepened to start the back half of the season, according to the latest monthly report from market research firm Circana.

Beer’s August losses weren’t as steep as initially reported, according to new corrected data shared by market research firm Circana.

The back half of the summer has kicked off with hot weather, but cold bev-alc sales, according to the latest weekly off-premise scans report from market research firm Circana.

Losses in beer and wine continued to drag overall beverage-alcohol sales in the latest weekly report from market research firm Circana. Total bev-alc off-premise dollar sales declined 2.2% year-over-year (YoY), to $1.452 billion in Circana-tracked off-premise channels (total U.S. multi-outlet plus convenience) in the week ending August 2.

The beer category caught quite a bit of flack in the latest weekly scans report from market research firm Circana.

The largest beer companies in the U.S. continue to shift their attention toward their growing spirits-based offerings. And it’s tough to blame them, given beer’s performance so far this year.

The summer has been a mixed bag for beer segments, with some capitalizing on this year’s big occasions (America 250, FIFA World Cup), and others getting lost in the crowd. Craft beer has ended up somewhere in the middle, according to the latest monthly report from market research firm Circana.

The final week of the FIFA World Cup brought plenty of action on the pitch, but the play-by-play of off-premise bev-alc sales was decidedly lackluster, according to the latest weekly scans from market research firm Circana.

Off-premise beverage-alcohol sales took an “expected” nosedive following the Fourth of July, according to market research firm Circana’s latest weekly report. Dollar sales declined 21.4% week-over-week (WoW) for the week ending July 12. Year-over-year (YoY), dollar sales declined 0.3%, to $1.448 billion. Volume, measured in case sales, declined 1.7%.

This year’s Fourth of July temperatures were hot across most of the U.S., but bev-alc sales were a bit more tepid during the holiday, according to the latest weekly off-premise scans report from market research firm Circana.
