What's happening in the craft brewing:
A $22 billion market with more room to grow
Craft breweries and suppliers have been busy after the Craft Brewer's Conference in Philadelphia! We finally have been able to take a step back and look at what's happening at an industry-wide level. To help you better plan for the upcoming year and get a sense of what's happening around the country, here is Kinnek's 2016 craft brewery industry trend report. Given the industry's meteoric rise over the past few years, we take a look growth trends and shifts in production and sales channels.
Some highlights include:
- US regions where craft distilling revenues still have a lot of runway left
- Double-digit growth in on-premise taproom sales
- The impact of high demand for hops, and the popularity of ales and lagers
At Kinnek, we're building an online equipment & supplies marketplace that serves small businesses across the country, including craft industries like brewing and distilling.
