Research Update

 

Good afternoon,

Linked below is the April 2017 Domestic Tax Paid Estimate.

Below find a few key points provided by our Chief Economist, Michael Uhrich:

  • Beer’s domestic tax paid shipment volume decreased by 4.1 percent in April 2017 on fewer selling day versus April 2016.
  • On a selling-day adjusted basis, shipment volumes increased by 0.7% in April 2017 compared to April 2016.
  • This April was a particularly rainy month, and there is a correlation between higher rainfall and lower beer sales. Rainfall was above 10-year averages in 34 states, including California--the largest beer consuming state—which had an 87% above average April rainfall.

If you have any questions, please contact Michael at either 202-737-2337 or muhrich@beerinstitute.org.

Cheers,

Jim McGreevy
President and CEO
