For the primary time, extra craft beer breweries are shutting down than opening up, based on the Brewers Affiliation.

Constellation Manufacturers lowered its outlook for its present fiscal 12 months as client demand for beer weakened, notably for high-end beer purchases, amid a “challenging” financial local weather.

Constellation, which is the U.S. importer of Corona and Modelo, revised its web gross sales forecast for beer downward to a decline of two% to 4%, after its prior outlook confirmed development being flat to optimistic within the 0% to three% vary. It cited incremental macroeconomic headwinds affecting client demand as the important thing driver of the change.

The corporate’s working earnings for beer was additionally revised right down to a decline of seven% to 9% when its prior outlook confirmed positive factors within the 0% to 2% vary. The influence of decrease volumes, extra tariffs and working deleveraging have been cited as driving the shift.

“We continue to navigate a challenging macroeconomic environment that has dampened consumer demand and led to more volatile consumer purchasing behavior since our first quarter of fiscal 2026,” stated Constellation Manufacturers CEO Invoice Newlands.

“Over the last several months, high-end beer buy rates decelerated sequentially, as both trip frequency and spend per trip declined,” Newlands stated. 

“Notably, high-end beer buy rate declines for Hispanic consumers were more pronounced than general market declines, which has an outsized impact on our beer business compared to the broader beer category,” he added.

Bump Williams, CEO of Bump Williams Consulting, advised FOX Enterprise that the primary causes behind the decline in beer consumption have been the rise in well being issues concerning the influence of ingesting, fewer social gatherings at public venues the place beer is offered, in addition to shoppers reaching the authorized ingesting age who’re extra excited about natural, pure merchandise like hashish and well being drinks.

“All beer brands are suffering from these distractions, but the biggest volume/share decliners are the older, legacy brands like Bud, Miller, and Coors (Coors Banquet is an exception) that have the most volume to lose,” Williams stated. “Beer brands with flavor (Twisted Tea, Mike’s Hard, Smirnoff Ice), healthier attributes (Michelob Ultra, EIGHT, Yuengling Flight) and non-alcoholic brands (Michelob Ultra ZERO, Heineken 0.0 and Athletic’s portfolio) are finding ways to win.”

Williams stated that within the case of Constellation’s main manufacturers like Corona and Modelo, the loss or decline of enterprise from Hispanic household consumers has “negatively impacted the Constellation portfolio due to its affinity with the Mexican family.”

Financial components have additionally contributed to the decline in beer gross sales, with Williams saying that beer manufacturers have been failing to draw extra consumers, getting consumers to purchase extra often or buy extra merchandise.

“Consumers are feeling the pinch of higher prices at retail, not just for beer, but across the entire consumer packaged goods industry. Beer has always been labeled as an ‘affordable luxury’ but when it comes to paying $40 per case for your favorite beer brand, that just seems to be the pinch-point,” he stated.

“What we have seen is the consumer trading down in size from 24- or 30-packs to smaller packages like single-serve offerings and 12-packs. It’s a way for consumers to enjoy their favorite beer at an affordable price point,” he stated.

“What I think ails beer the most: we are losing consumers to energy drinks, water, pre/post/pro-biotics, healthier beverages, all-natural juices, vitamin-enriched recovery drinks, low-carb/low-calorie/ less-sugar drinks and gluten-free alternatives,” he stated.

“The biggest gainer of lost beer shoppers has been the spirits-based ready-to-drink business led by Surfside, Sun Cruiser, VMC, NUTRL, Cutwater, High Noon and a myriad of other players,” Williams stated. “The other big winner is cannabis/THC drinks and I think this particular offering has a long road of growth ahead of it.”
