Young & Hungry: Washington City Paper
Date Published:

Description / Excerpt:
"I've written time and again (and again) about the virtues of beer that packs a flavorful punch without the belt of booze. On a long Saturday night, my motive is part gluttony: an easy sipping beer means I can drink more of it. But there is a time for moderation—for me, lunch—and that's when I reach for a traditional German Kölsch, in a traditional Kölsch glass..."

Description / Excerpt:
It’s conventional wisdom that in tough times, people need a drink, and beer, typically the most affordable of all beverage alcohol drinks, reigns as a “recession-proof” product. In 2009, however, beer felt the impact of the recession, with overall sales down around 2.2% nationally—that’s about 5 million barrels-worth —according to the Boulder-based Brewers Association. Many consumers responded to tough times by
shifting to sub-premium brands, opting for Keystone rather than Miller Lite.
While the big domestic brands were down about 1%, imports took a bigger hit and were 9.8% off from the previous year. Off-premise sales are somewhat healthier than the restaurant and bar business, where sales were down almost 4%. However, if you’re crying in your beer over these numbers, it’s probably not a craft beer. Despite their higher per-unit prices, 2009 was actually a banner year for crafts, with 7% growth by volume. “Craft beers are still sexy,” says Bill DeLuca, VP of sales at Manhattan Beer Distributors in New York. “Good quality, high-end beers have a smaller base that’s going to grow no matter what kind of economy we’re in.” Craig Purser, president of the National Beer Wholesalers Association, says the trend applies across the nation, noting that consumer demand for a wide variety of styles and brands has trumped concerns that consolidation at the production level—Anheuser-Busch and In-Bev, SABMiller and Coors—would lend their national brands even greater weight in the distribution chain.

"During the sultry Washington summers, when the whole world seems to wilt, beer drinkers would be wise to intersperse their brewskis with plenty of water and switch from heavier, high-octane imperial styles to lighter, paler, more refreshing beers..."
