The Florida Breweries Report – May 2021
Florida breweries’ monthly taxpaid sales exceeded 11,000 barrels for the first time in May 2021.
Monthly Highlights
The Data: The Florida Breweries Report reflects data published by the Florida ABT, which is available online here. The ABT monthly publishes the taxpaid sales for each brewery and distributor. Unfortunately, the ABT does not publish breweries’ sales to distributors. This means that the Florida Breweries Report reflects only breweries’ taxpaid sales, which are generally made in its taproom. Each April and October, breweries with lapsed licenses and no taxpaid sales within the past 12 months are purged from the Florida Breweries Report.
The New Breweries: Three new Florida breweries in May 2021: Ink Factory Brewing (Jacksonville Beach), Stormhouse Brewing (North Palm Beach), Dees Brothers Brewery (Sanford), and Civic Brewing Co. (Sopchoppy).
From Brewpub to Production Brewery: No breweries upgraded from a brewpub license (CMBP) to a production brewery license (CMB) this month. Breweries with a CMB license can start fill growlers, sell bottled or canned products for consumption off premises, and sell to licensed distributors. Where a brewery upgrades its license, the tables below denote the CMBP license with * and the CMB license with ^.
Total Number of Breweries: In May 2021, the total number of licensed breweries stood at 411. Of those, 386 breweries reported taxpaid sales for the month.
Monthly Performance: Month-to-month taxpaid sales increased by 2.1% in May 2021. Total taxpaid sales during the rolling last-twelve-months (LTM) increased by 3.04%. Compared to May 2020, LTM taxpaid sales were up by 2.84% in May 2021.
Average Monthly Production: For reporting breweries, the average taxpaid sales per brewery in April 2021 was 28.78 barrels, a monthly increase of 0.52 barrels per brewery.
Distribution: In April 2021, Florida breweries’ taxpaid sales accounted for 0.87% of all beer sales in Florida (8.7 out of 1,000 beers sold).
