HVCW - Craft Beer Industry – The New Market Opportunity
When business prognosticators start talking about market bubbles it does not take long to get around to the granddaddy of them all: the tulip and bulb craze in Holland in the 1630s. But in the beer brewing business these days the only thing optimistic craft brewers want to hear from flowers is what combination of rose buds, nasturtium and hibiscus pedals to mix into their summer ales.
Craft brewing is indeed booming in the United States. It is a $20 billion market and there are more than 3,400 craft brewers in the United States (defined as producing less than 6 million barrels of beer per year) and the fraternity is growing by more than one brewery per day. There have not been this many brewmasters plying their trade in America since Chester A. Arthur was in the White House.
The specter of an impending burst bubble to deflate this aggressive growth pattern hovers over the craft brewing industry for very good reasons. This is not the first craft brewing explosion in recent memory. In the early 1990s, when beer drinkers were introduced to the concept of more spirited small batch brewing by the likes of Boston Beer and Pete's Wicked Ale, hundreds of brewers with home recipes flooded into the market. By the dawn of the 21st century; however, more breweries were closing each day then were opening.

This is not the 1990s for many reasons. For one thing, the demand for more flavorful beers is much higher. Today's craft breweries are opening into a beer culture that did not exist twenty years ago. The beer drinker of 2015 is more knowledgeable, more adventurous, more sophisticated and does not blink at paying premium prices for a premium product.
Any honest evaluation of the earlier craft brewing boom has to conclude that much of the beer being foisted on the drinking public just was not that good. In this competitive climate there is no opportunity for brewers to learn on the job, they must enter the business with the expertise to deliver an outstanding beer when the doors swing open for the first time. Collectively, American craft beers are the finest in the world.
These new players are different than their predecessors. Much of the 1990s boom was fueled by microbreweries looking to sell product on site. Modern craft brewers enter the arena with distribution as a goal. Just being well-placed regionally is enough to maintain a local brewery as a going concern, but craft breweries in 2015 are casting a more ambitious eye.
