The Florida Breweries Report – April 2020
With Florida’s executive orders prohibiting consumption on premises at brewery taprooms in April 2020, average monthly taxpaid sales per brewery were down by 46% compared to last year.
Monthly Highlights
- 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 Reports reflects only breweries’ taxpaid sales, which are generally made in its taproom.
- Four new Florida breweries in April 2020: The 5 Barrel (Pensacola), Wet Dogs Brewing (Lake Placid), Ology Brewing (Kerry Forest Pkwy) (Tallahassee), and Coastal Karma Brewing (Lake Park).
- Two breweries upgraded from a brewpub license (CMBP) to a production brewery license (CMB) in April 2020: Bay Cannon Beer Company (Tampa) and Hiatus Brewing Co. (Ocala). 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 ^.
- In April 2020, the total number of licensed breweries stood at 395. Of those, 372 breweries reported taxpaid sales in April.
- Month-to-month taxpaid sales dropped by 24.93% in April 2020. Total taxpaid sales during the rolling last-twelve-months (LTM) fell by 3.43%. Compared to April 2019, LTM taxpaid sales were down by 3.3% in April 2020.
- For reporting breweries, the average taxpaid sales per brewery in April 2020 was 16.22 barrels, a monthly decrease of 6.29 barrels per brewery.
- In April 2020, Florida breweries’ taxpaid sales accounted for .59% of all beer sales in Florida (5.9 out of 1,000 beers sold).
