FMBs continue to post off-premise declines YoY, losing shelf space and displays to spirits-based offerings, among other new entrants. However, several FMB brands have been able to buck the trend, as evident in market research firm Circana’s latest weekly scans report.
The beer category should hope for an early start to the holidays to juice sales, Circana EVP of BevAl Scott Scanlon wrote in the data firm’s weekly scans report.
Despite a reported slowdown in prepared cocktail growth in Q3, the category recorded accelerated year-over-year (YoY) gains in the latest off-premise report from market research firm NIQ.
Beer losses and a slowdown in ready-to-drink cocktail sales drove the accelerated declines in Q3, according to the latest weekly off-premise report from market research firm Circana.

Comparable Labor Day data has arrived, and the results – like much of this year – are “mixed,” according to the latest report from market research firm Circana.
The misalignment of Labor Day this year (September 7) compared to 2025 (September 1) has caused wonky comps in recent off-premise scans, as reported earlier this week. However, brand-level data highlights an industry experiencing similar trends to last summer.
Bev-alc’s trajectory remained “stagnant” leading up to the final week of August, according to the latest weekly scans report from market research firm NIQ.
