Research Update

 

Good afternoon,

Linked below is the July 2018 Domestic Tax Paid Estimate.

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

  • Domestic beer shipment trends improved for the second month in a row in July, growing 6.1% or 1.3% adjusted for one fewer selling day compared to July 2017.
  • July showed the strongest growth trend in the last nine months.
  • All signs suggest the supply chain issues that brewers faced during the first half of the year have been largely resolved following June’s inventory correction.
  • Super premium and FMB products (including hard seltzers) are contributing a majority of the growth among domestic beer brands.
  • According to syndicated data from both Nielsen and IRI, wine and liquor category growth trends have slowed recently, especially in off-premise channels. Beer’s recent trend improvements might be related to this decelerating trend in wine and liquor.

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