Summarization
Bart Watson, chief economist of the Brewers Association, advised brewers not to denigrate new customers' palates or where consumers are entering craft beer. The #1 reason people are drinking less craft is that they are drinking something else. Some Twitter users shared their opinions on the matter, with one saying good small producers will survive on their own, while another said bartenders should not show contempt for where the drinker is at. The conversation also touched on the line between craft and non-craft beer disappearing, and some breweries broadening their portfolios beyond core beer. Additionally, early California craft production data shows a 1% decrease for 2022 as draft struggles, but e-commerce sales are growing after coming back from pandemic highs.

1638916202583199746 | .@BrewersStats' advice to brewers a recent conference—"Don’t denigrate where consumers are entering craft"—caught my eye for 2 reasons: 1. He rarely says stuff like this. 2. I think he’s exactly right. In this week's @VinePair column I explain why. https://t.co/FBWESvNWjj | 4 |
1638226556664573953 | @BrewersStats, chief econ, @BrewersAssoc: #1 reason ppl drinking less craft is they're drinking something else. @CACraftBrewers https://t.co/sFVtlMZMUx | 1 |
1638930179270508545 | @BrewersStats @VinePair A worthy counterpoint! But one that still doesn't give brewers license to sneer at colleagues' efforts to stay afloat, or new customers' palates imo! (Not that's what @Orpheus_Jason is suggesting, just saying.) https://t.co/8kAm4PQ5wv | 1 |
1639269172017242113 | This is really interesting from @dinfontay (re: @BrewersStats comments, etc). Overall, as usual, an excellent analysis from Dave and Bryan and all the beer hooligans out there. Always good. However.... 1/ https://t.co/3IH2Oi4cJ1 | 0 |
1638948137791266835 | @dinfontay @BrewersStats @VinePair Good small producers will survive on their own outside of the umbrella of "craft beer" | 0 |
1637845499033292800 | @BrewersStats Yes. Why do you think e-commerce sales are growing again after coming back from the pandemic highs? | 0 |

1638938875513958401 | @dinfontay @BrewersStats @VinePair I don't fault drinkers but I do fault brewers who do it while trying to maintain the argument that what they're doing is craft, creative, or original | 0 |
1638940443642675200 | @Orpheus_Jason @BrewersStats @VinePair fair enough! what would you say to those brewers who are broadening their portfolios beyond core beer because they're worried about the longterm health of their businesses if they don't? | 0 |
1638948100206125056 | @dinfontay @BrewersStats @VinePair Is it worth it as opposed to being smaller or closing? How far down this road are you willing to go? Realistically it's too late to change the trajectory. Maybe it was inevitable that the line between craft and not would disappear and individual breweries can't change that now. | 0 |

1638961647560585219 | @ale_chaser @BrewersStats I think the whole bourbon industry should get behind treating bourbon as a stepping stone to Orpheus barleywine | 3 |

1638959130919464962 | @BrewersStats Totally agree. It doesn't sound like that based on what I say here, but I'm assuming this is an industry conversation. The conversation between our bartenders and the public is very different. We're as happy introducing a Bud drinker to Italian pils as a 450 drinker to Oude Kriek | 2 |
1638955805624901663 | @dinfontay @BrewersStats @VinePair Where (not who) is the largest source/example of the negativity you're referencing (via Bart)? | 2 |
1638961452022214658 | @BrewersStats A big pet peeve of mine is bartenders showing any contempt for where the drinker is at. We're here to delight, not insult | 2 |
1638962309107265537 | @Orpheus_Jason @BrewersStats As someone born in Kentucky, I will officially co-sign this on behalf of the bourbon industry. I'm pretty sure that makes it official | 2 |
