Highlights

With beer volumes in the UK and the US declining, craft beer or real ales have been one bright spot. The growth has been driven by alcohol consumption in moderation and a “less of the best” approach when it comes to consumer choice of alcoholic drinks. Other important contextual factors driving craft and real ales include the sensory benefits e.g. taste, their authentic positioning, and the suitability for pairing with food. With an ever-greater number of micro-breweries, future growth is expected to continue – key to unlocking growth will be a greater appeal among younger and female drinkers.
