What makes this report unique and essential to read?
This report uses a wider definition of “craft beer” that encompasses speciality beers and brands produced by larger brewers and builds upon Canadean’s granular data researched by “on-the-ground” analysts.
Reasons To Buy
Canadean believes that a better definition of “craft” beer would be: Premium and Super premium priced speciality beers – excluding flavored beers, super-strength lagers and Stout.
“Craft” beers are part of a much wider societal trend towards authenticity and localism and away from processed foods. This is manifested in the growth of artisan cheeses; handmade chocolates; home baking and farmers’ markets.
By definition “craft” tends to form a relatively small part of most global brewers business. However it is extremely profitable and, as the success of a brand like Blue Moon has shown, can provide much needed growth in otherwise static or declining mature markets.
