Market Demographics Microbrewery This tag is applied to any brewery that produces less than 15,000 barrels of beer per year. The beer that is produced is sold through a distributor (49/50 states) or directly to the consumer (Washington State). Good examples include the Omaha Brewing Company, which is south of Columbus, GA, or Folklore Brewing in Dothan, AL. Brewpub This tag is applied to a brewery that has a restaurant (or a restaurant that has a brewery) that sells more than 25% of the beer it brews in the restaurant. Depending on state regulations, it may sell beer “to-go” or distribute off-site. If more than 75% of revenues come from outside the restaurant, it’s categorization changes to a microbrewery. Good examples include The Cannon …show more content…

Many companies have turned to contract brewing to redirect capital not invested into production towards marketing and brand recognition. A good example is High Water Brewing buying and installing production tanks at Drake’s Brewery in San Leandro, CA (Routson, 2016). Regional Brewery This tag is applied to a brewery that produces between 15,000 and 6,000,000 barrels of beer per year. My personal favorites are the Boston Beer Company in Boston, MA and Sweetwater Brewing Company in Atlanta, GA. Unfortunately, Alabama does not have a regional brewery. Large Brewery This tag is applied to a brewery that produces more than 6,000,000 barrels of beer per year. This category includes Anheuser-Bush InBev, Elysian Brewing Company in Seattle, and MillerCoors. Porter’s Five Forces Analysis The Threat of New Entrants and Emerging …show more content…

BBC has enjoyed strong growth over the previous three years, but revenue growth has slowed to 6% as of 2015. Much of this slowing can be attributed to expansion of operations larger brewers and the introduction of new microbrewers (Fleck, 2016). The profitability woes that BBC is suffering from is due to the craft beer market finally reaching its long awaited saturation point. Generally speaking, it is unrealistic to expect any market to sustain 15% growth for an undetermined amount of time (Tuttle, 2016). As such, financial analysts have adjusted their expectations for BBC accordingly, setting annual revenue growth expectations at 4.5% over the next five years (Fleck, 2016). In direct relation to Porter’s Five Forces, the bargaining power of buyers in BBC’s favor is strong. With shipments exceeding 4 million barrels in 2014, BBC is the largest-volume purchaser in the craft beer market. Suppliers that provide hops and barley are very dependent on the beer industry, as the demand for medicinal or beverage uses are not remotely comparable. While BBC has enjoyed healthy profits over the last three years, decreases in revenues may lead to the company reevaluating supplier contracts to lower production input

depends on distributors both for its supplies and for distribution of its products, care must be taken to develop good working relationship with all participants in the value chain. The law requires separation of beer producers, distributors, and retailers so there is no possibility of forward integration of the value chain, but the Boston Beer Co. can still provide additional value to its distributors through program like Freshest Beer Program, which saved participating distributors storage space worth of about two weeks of Boston Beer Co. inventory and the cost of energy used for storing the beer in cool temperatures. The fact that Boston Beer Co. is repeatedly voted one of the best breweries in the USA will assure customer interest and high inventory turnover. However, the Three -Tier System does not prevent backward integration and the Boston Beer Co. should research this possibility to ensure supply of high quality ingredients which are vital to produce high quality beer. Different types of hops (bittering or aroma hops) are added in different production stages and the final taste of the beer is the result of combination of different hop varieties, research could be done to find out which hop varieties are similar enough that they could be substituted during the production of beer without the change of taste.

I learnt about the various channels available in the distribution landscape and how the shelf space offered by an established retailer has become an important commodity to compete for (Arnese et al., 2014). It is for this reason, our proposal to the distilleries was to initially target the HoReCa i.e. 120K bars, pubs, restaurants & hotels in the UK which are responsible for more than 35% on-trade consumption in the UK (IAS, 2017). However, the illustration of this piece of information could have been improved in the group

Mad Hops Brewery is a proposed microbrewery based in New Orleans, LA. It will focus on selling to local bars in the area and will strictly trade in the wholesale market.

During the summer of 2013, Hockley Valley Brewing Co a microbrewery located in Ontario, was in the growth stage of its product life cycle as it was operating at 50% capacity leaving room for growth (pg 3). Growth is the key stage for launching a product's position in a market, increasing sales, and profit margins. Sales from a summer festival in Orangeville were surprisingly very high according to the company founder and operations manager. The high sales showed a strong demand for light beers, when the standard bulk of sales are in dark beers. With solid competition from other well established breweries it would be very competitive for Hockley to introduce a lighter beer into the market.

The combination of a price drop and the lowered production rate proved to make a dent in our revenue and resulted in a loss for the year of 2019. In fact, the only positive to take away from the first year was our small increase in market share. In order to counteract some of the damage I had inflicted on Blue’s finances, I decided to increase production by a small margin in hopes of capitalizing on the demand of a lower priced detergent. Blue had lost out on a large portion of profit due to my decision to decrease production in the first year, unfortunately our pricing was too low to make up for this deficit in

Anheuser-Busch is ranked 56th on the Forbes list of the World’s Biggest Public Companies, and has recently closed a deal to purchase SABMiller, owner of Miller Lite, Peroni, and Fosters. Anheuser-Busch InBev already owns Busweiser, Corona, and Stella Artois. This merger positions Anheuser Busch to monopolize the beer industry globally and is the largest beer acquisition in history (Gara, 2015). Economies of scale occur when long-run average costs decrease as output increases. Anheuser-Busch has several examples of economies of scale with the most obvious being the acquisition of SABMiller.

In the USA, there exists the three tier system, an alcohol distribution system created after the repeal of Prohibition. Designed to ensure product control and give the government a form of control over the industry as well as revenue from taxes, the system separates producers, distributors, and retailers.
