Opinion
Consumers who were of legal drinking age in 2012 are most likely to report increased consumption of beer (14%), which includes 7% of respondents who are drinking more craft beer in 2013 compared to 2012.
Discovery of new beers is popular with 93% of imported beer drinkers, 88% of domestic fans and 84% of craft beer consumers.
Craft beers have found a way to appeal to 49% of ‘Millennials’ and 40% of ‘Gen Xers’, but just 29% of ‘Baby Boomers’ and 22% of ‘Swing Generation/World War II’.
Hispanic consumers also turn to craft beer, with 38% indicating that they consume craft beer at any time. But there’s room to grow, since 58% of Hispanics aged 21+ report drinking domestic beer and 55% of Hispanics drink imported beer.
84% of craft beer consumers like to choose their beer depending on the season.
Liquor or package stores are the preferred outlet for craft beer purchases.
73% of craft beer drinkers say that they usually know what brand of beer they are going to buy before they go to the store.
A third of craft and imported beer consumers ask sales associates for advice and information when buying beer.
45% of craft beer drinkers indicate that they would try more craft beers if they knew more about them.
Beer drinkers aged 36-47 are slightly less likely than consumers aged 21-35 to show a preference for the taste of craft beer. Members of Generation X are more likely than their younger counterparts to indicate that imported beer and craft beer are similar value.
Enjoy the week!
