With the recent surge of interest in non-alcoholic beer, it's no surprise it's caught the attention of many craft brewers! However, as with many new ventures, there's a lot more to consider than just the potential market. The Brewers Association took a close look at the potential risks associated with this new trend that you should consider before starting your venture. Stay informed and brew with confidence! For a deeper dive into the potential risks and best practices, check out the full article here: https://loom.ly/3sPjrXY Your commitment to beer safety and brewery insights is the key to a successful venture. ?? #CraftBrewers #BeerSafety #NonAlcoholBeer #BreweryInsights

Why is it, that if you're a beer drinker you're sorted within 5secs of getting to the bar... ?? A quick scan of the taps, and boom. 'I'll have one of those please.' What if you don't drink beer or just don't fancy one? Why is it that you're now kept out of that super quick, accessible ordering moment. Scrabbling round for a menu, checking the back bar, sizing up the options when all you want is to get a drink you know is good, served fast so you can focus on socialising with your mates. Non-beer drinkers deserve better. They deserve a drink that is sessionable, accessible and refreshing. ?? That's why These Days Drinks exists. We put our Session Spritz right into that casual drinks occasion, saving non-beer drinkers one Spritz at a time... (See us here, with some more big beer brands for company in The Crown, Battersea - PubLove) **Want to get on board with the Session Spritz and our mission to save non-beer drinkers? We are opening up our next fundraising round in the next month or so, drop me a message to receive our deck & set up a meeting. #spritz #spritzontap #beer

Brewery owners: Want to know what is keeping your punters up at night? Brewing buddies, it’s time to tune into what your punters are really feeling. The Good Beer Drinker Report 2023 reveals a common theme: uncertainty about the future. Economic worries and global changes are on most craft drinkers minds. So, what role does your lil ol brewery play in this landscape? Think of your brewery as a lighthouse, a constant in the stormy seas of change. It’s cheesy but hear me out: 1. Consistent Opening Hours: Be reliable. Make sure your punters know they can count on you to be open when they need that pint the most. 2. Stock Their Favourites: Always have those beloved brews ready to pour. Stability in their beer choices can be a huge comfort. 3. Quality First: Continue to deliver the best. High-quality brews can make all the difference in keeping your customers coming back. 4. Community Hub: Extend your brewery’s role. Consider opening up your space for more community events. Maybe it’s time for a new coffee machine or hosting local groups. Make your taproom a central part of your community’s daily life. In times of change, your brewery can offer more than just beer—it can provide a sense of stability and community, and the more you ingrain yourself in the community the more you cement yourself in their future #BreweryLife #CommunityHub #CraftBeerCommunity #EconomicStability

Here's something I've learned from working in this industry... It’s not just about what’s in the glass, it’s about the people you share it with. Whether it’s at a local taproom or a neighborhood pub, craft beer has a way of bringing people together and creating community. That is what matters most. Selling beer is one thing, but being part of something bigger...connecting with people, building relationships...that’s the real reward. If you’re supporting local, know that you’re helping create more than just a sale. You’re helping build a stronger community and we can all cheer to that! ?? #CraftBeerCommunity #SupportLocal #SalesWithValues #CommunityMatters #BackswingBrewing #ForABetterRoundofBeer

INDEPENDENT BREWERS: We’re proud to support SIBA, The Society of Independent Brewers and Associates in their Indie Beer Campaign! ?? Recent research by SIBA and YouGov has revealed that UK beer drinkers are being misled. Many so-called “independent craft beers” are actually owned by global giants like Heineken, Budweiser, and Molson Coors. Shockingly, 83% of drinkers feel deceived when they discover their “independently brewed” pint is part of a large corporation. To tackle this, SIBA is launching the Indie Beer mark – the easiest way to spot genuinely independent craft beers. Look out for the mark on beers from proper independent breweries, like us at Wold Top! ?? The Indie Beer mark is set to become the industry standard for top-quality craft and cask beers brewed in the UK by truly independent brewers. Find out more about the Indie Beer Campaign by following the Society of Independent Brewers at SIBA, The Society of Independent Brewers and Associates. #IndieBeer #SupportIndependent #CraftBeer #IndependentBrewers #RealAle #SIBA #UKBeer #WoldTopBrewing ??

The U.S. is ‘over stored’ with craft beer taprooms, brewpubs and microbreweries. Period. I should know: I once led a 1,000+ retail stores. It seems the times they are a-changin’. Sure, craft beer production gallons has declined since EOY 2019, its peak year of the past 20 years, and with a brief decline during the pandemic, has been trending downward since January 2021, according to the Brewers Association. Yet it’s symptomatic of a larger problem. The number of craft beer locations ballooned in the U.S. since 2015 when it stood at just over 4,803 locations versus 9,761 at the close of 2023, again, as per the Brewers Association. Have you done the math? That’s an additional 4,958 craft beer locations — more than double the base — in only nine years. And craft beer production and sales has been declining precipitously for 32 straight months — again, since very early in 2022 — after a monumental hiccup in 2021 post-pandemic pent-up demand in craft beer sales … and 2024 is shaping up to be another down year and the forecast for ‘25 and ‘26 isn’t so hot. Simply, America’s tastes have changed. Very notably and highly important, consumer demographics and psychographics have radically changed over the past ten years. Remember hearing of the three-martini lunch? Jimmy Carter condemned the practice of three-martini lunches during the 1976 Presidential campaign as it was about the “tax deduction.” Good grief — way to ding an industry ?? But the spirits industry clawed its way back. In spite of everything, craft beer will too, but craft beer will be “different”. Are you ready for this market shift and are you fully prepared? Are you ready for a market shift in your industry or market and are you fully prepared? Because as Dylan crooned … “For the loser now will be later to win, For the times they are a-changin'.” — Bob Dylan Prophetically, Bob Dylan’s song was released 60 years ago.
