This report examines the underlying trends shaping beverage performance through the first half of 2026, including category growth, market share shifts, channel performance, and product innovation.
More than half (55.45%) of Brewers Association (BA) defined regional craft breweries beyond the top 50 recorded production volume declines in 2025, but there are still signs of improvement compared to 2024, according to annual data shared last week by the trade group.
The top 50 Brewers Association-defined craft breweries once again posted results as diverse as their portfolio mix these days, according to 2025 production data shared Friday by the trade group.
Bev-alc scans returned to typical 2025 patterns post-Labor Day, according to the latest weekly report from market research firm Circana and EVP of BevAl, Scott Scanlon.
The beverage-alcohol landscape doesn’t slow down, even when categories do. In this latest quarterly installment of 3 Up, 3 Down, 3 Tier Beverages takes a data-driven look at what’s gaining momentum – and what’s losing ground – across beer, wine, spirits, and non-alc (NA), with NIQ off-premise data through August 9, 2025.
Draft beer remains the dominating sales driver for taprooms, but breweries may need to expand their menus (and hours) if they want consumers to keep coming back, according to a new report from the Brewers Association (BA), citing taproom point-of-sale data from Arryved.
The return of professional football didn’t result in a boost to on-premise beer trends, contrary to years past. Opening weekend of the 2025 NFL season (September 4-7) led to high-single-digit declines in both draft beer (-7.3%) and packaged products (-8.3%) compared to 2024 opening weekend (September 5-8), according to on-premise tech and insights firm BeerBoard.
If going out seemed expensive in July, dining and drinking budgets were likely stretched further in August. The consumer price index (CPI) for alcohol away from home (+3.8% year-over-year [YoY]) and food away from home (+3.9% YoY) far outpaced overall inflation (+2.9%) in August, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics’ (BLS) most recent monthly report.
Crane Brewing (Raytown, Missouri), has closed after 11 years. In its early days, the brewery built its name on the homebrew and beer fest circuit with namesake Michael Crane’s sour ales and magenta-hued beet beer.
Affordability is the biggest headwind facing the bev-alc industry, according to survey results released Monday from investment banking firm Jefferies.
Labor Day weekend provided a needed boost in sales for the bev-alc industry, but was yet another occasion where 2025 trends fell below 2024 comps, according to the latest weekly scans report from Circana and the market research firm’s EVP of BevAl, Scott Scanlon.
The growth of spirits-based ready-to-drink cocktails (RTDs) may be slowing. However, the segment’s impact on the beer category is far from abating, according to bev-alc consulting and data firm 3 Tier Beverages.
Spirits-based RTD growth peaked in 2020, with dollar sales growth of more than 150% in NIQ-tracked off-premise channels (total U.S. xAOC plus liquor plus convenience), 3 Tier Beverages consultant Erin McVickers shared in a webinar last week. Growth then progressively slowed, but the segment was still able to more than double dollar sales from 2021 (nearly $1.53 billion) to 2024 (nearly $3.19 billion).
Domestic beer shipments drop back into the red in July, according to the Beer Institute’s (BI) latest monthly economic report.
Consumers’ interest in single-serve and other “alternatives to the norm” in package sizes could be a sticky trend across not just beer, but other bev-alc categories as well, according to the latest monthly report from Bump Williams Consulting (BWC).
Who drinks draft beer these days? The draft beer drinker is an older white man who is “relatively affluent” and spends around $201 monthly on dining and drinking in on-premise outlets, according to the latest “On Premise Draft Opportunity” report from CGA and Draftline Technologies.
Bev-alc’s negative trends remained relatively unchanged ahead of Labor Day, according to the latest weekly report from market research firm Circana.
It appears beer wholesalers are not very optimistic for an end-of-summer boost in sales, according to the latest Beer Purchasers’ Index (BPI) from the National Beer Wholesalers Association (NBWA).
