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. Industry analyses estimate that U.S. beer pricing has climbed 20%+ over the past 4–5 years , well ahead of historical averages. 🔻 Beer Sales & Volume Keep Falling U.S. beer volume dropped 4.4% in 2023 , hitting its lowest point in years. Craft beer saw its first net decline in brewery count in two decades , with closures outpacing openings. In 2024, U.S. beer production f

Trothe & Sagebreaker Wines
Jeff Andrews and Ray McKee of Trothe and Sagebreaker Wines Jeff Andrews and Ray McKee both have deep family roots in the Washington wine industry.  Jeff’s roots in the Horse Heaven Hills go back 4 generations to his great grandparents who were dryland wheat farmers.  The discovery of water on the land in the 1950s enabled Jeff’s parents and grandparents to grow many different crops.  In 1994, Jeff’s father planted the first Andrews Family Vineyard vines, and at its most extensive acreage the vineyard was 1300 acres with over two dozen different grape varieties.  Ray’s parents, Joel and Pam Tefft, moved to Washington in the mid-1980s with the goal of planting a vineyard and starting a winery.  Between 1987 and 1991, they transformed a Concord vineyard in the Yakima Valley into one with wine grapes, including such varieties as Chenin Blanc, Sangiovese, Nebbiolo and Syrah.  In 1991, they made their first Tefft Cellars wines, and continued to grow production u

Elevating the Art of Prosecco at Bellenda Winery
The Wining Hour: Since the mid 1980’s, Bellenda Winery has been crafting elegant sparkling wines in the scenic Carpesica hills of Treviso. Founded by the Cosmo family, the estate reflects their shared passion for the land and the region’s signature grape, Glera. Their vineyards stretch across the prestigious Conegliano Valdobbiadene DOCG zone, a UNESCO-listed area known for producing some of the finest expressions of Prosecco. We had the pleasure of engaging in a virtual tasting with Umberto Cosmo and being transported to the winery. Bellenda’s Terroir Bellenda’s vineyards lie on the glacial slopes of Carpesica, where cool nights and warm days help the grapes retain vibrant acidity. The mineral-rich soils, composed of limestone, clay and glacial deposits, and steep terrain produce wines that are bright, structured, and full of character. As one of the designated Rive zones of Valdobbiadene, Carpesica offers a distinct microclimate that gives Bellenda’s wines their signature freshness a

5 Family-Friendly Lodi Wineries for Your Holiday Gathering
Photo credit: Michael David Winery Your sister just flew in with the kids. Your parents want to “do something fun as a family.” Your cousin's bringing the dog. And somehow, you're in charge of entertaining everyone from ages 4 to 74 for an entire afternoon. Welcome to the holidays. Here's the good news: You don't need an elaborate plan or weeks of advance reservations. You just need to get everyone to Lodi wine country, where tasting rooms are built for exactly this moment – when the whole crew is in town and needs a place to gather, relax, and actually enjoy each other's company. According to recent travel data, 92% of parents plan family travel, with multi-generational trips becoming one of the fastest-growing tourism trends. Wine country doesn't have to mean ‘adults only’ and in Lodi, it never has.  Here, multi-generational farming families have been welcoming multi-generational visitors for decades, creating tasting room experiences where kids can
