The Beverage Information Group surveys our readers quarterly, collecting trends/sentiment data from distributors, on-premise and off-premise operators. For our third quarter 2021 survey, conducted in August, the rise in whiskey sales had the biggest impact on sales for the retailer respondents, while the on-premise operators said that the increase in craft beer sales, and decline in domestic beer, most affected their business this quarter.
On the other hand, both on- and on-premise respondents said that the decline in domestic beer sales was most impacting their business for the quarter. Below are some of the highlights from the survey responses.
