The Florida Breweries Report – April 2021
Florida breweries’ taxpaid sales for April 2021 up over 80% of sales for April 2020.
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 April 2021: Prision Pals Brewing Co. (Doral), Gatlin Hall Brewing (Orlando), and World’s Most Famous Brewery (Daytona Beach).
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 April 2021, the total number of licensed breweries stood at 406 (after breweries that no longer have active licenses). Of those, 385 breweries reported taxpaid sales for the month.
Monthly Performance: Month-to-month taxpaid sales fell by 0.66% in April 2021. Total taxpaid sales during the rolling last-twelve-months (LTM) increased by 4.78%. Compared to April 2020, LTM taxpaid sales were down by 1.54% in April 2021.
Average Monthly Production: For reporting breweries, the average taxpaid sales per brewery in April 2021 was 28.26 barrels, a monthly decrease of 0.64 barrels per brewery.
Distribution: In April 2021, Florida breweries’ taxpaid sales accounted for 0.84% of all beer sales in Florida (8.4 out of 1,000 beers sold).
