Is the Rising Cost of Beer Changing How We Drink? The Data Says Yes.
There’s been a lot of conversation across the beer industry lately — brewers, distributors, bar owners, and even retailers — all asking the same question: Are rising beer prices causing people to drink out less and buy less beer overall? Based on multiple industry reports from the Brewers Association, IWSR, Beverage Information Group, Gallup, and retail sales data from top beer companies, the answer appears to be: 👉 Yes — rising costs are contributing to measurable shifts in consumer behavior. Here’s what the data shows: 🔺 Beer Prices Keep Rising Ingredients, shipping, aluminum, labor — it’s all more expensive.

Bottles on the Wall...
Beer is my memory keeper I have a couple of walls of beer bottles and cans downstairs in my little rec room and each of them contain many memories, moments in time that were special enough to warrant me saving the empty and displaying it for my own edification and enjoyment. I know a lot of folks may have something similar, maybe a shelf or two in the garage or basement for some unique or memorable pints, pretty things to look at that become part of the visual background noise of our house, another thing to dust and move on. More than a decade on the shelf. One of my first loves in beer. We save them to remember, but one day, they will become a memory of us before finding their way to blue bags and recycling bins when our time here is done. Their deeper meaning, of course, is a tangible, visible link to the past, often viewed through beer goggles and the distance of time. Nobody is saving an empty bottle of MGD from a random night in February of 2001 wi

That Beer Buzz...
There is almost no better vibe in the world than when you're having a couple beers and that magical warm and fuzzy feeling kicks in. Be it after 1, 2, or more beers, we all have a sweet spot for when everything is right in the world and you just drift along for a little while in your happiness. You're not quite drunk, not quite sober, but existing in a beautiful place known as the Beer Buzz. It's a real art form finding the right spot, knowing when to say when and when to say just one more, a delicate balance of slow sipping and quick chugging, sprinkled in with some laughs and a smile growing across your face. I took a couple of quick polls on social media last week and found that the vast majority of folks (over 75%) who are with me for this weirdly beer centric trip I'm on seemed to agree that 3 to 4 beers was that very place to be when it came to the best feelings, the place where it's just right. I'll admit that I thought more people would lean into the old 2-B
