The Florida Breweries Report – January 2021
Florida breweries kickoff 2021 down more than 11% compared to January 2020 for taxpaid sales per brewery.
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 Reports reflects only breweries’ taxpaid sales, which are generally made in its taproom.
The New Breweries: Three new Florida breweries in January 2021: Bay 13 Brewery and Kitchen (Coral Gables), Southern Lights Brewing Company (Clearwater), and Grayton Beer Company (County Hwy 30A) (Santa Rosa).
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 January 2021, the total number of licensed breweries stood at 426. Of those, 382 breweries reported taxpaid sales in January.
Monthly Performance: Month-to-month taxpaid sales fell by 6.71% in January 2021. Total taxpaid sales during the rolling last-twelve-months (LTM) fell by 0.67%. Compared to January 2020, LTM taxpaid sales were down by 12.52% in January 2021.
Average Monthly Production: For reporting breweries, the average taxpaid sales per brewery in January 2021 was 23.13 barrels, a monthly decrease of 1.28 barrels per brewery.
Distribution: In January 2021, Florida breweries’ taxpaid sales accounted for 0.72% of all beer sales in Florida (7.2 out of 1,000 beers sold).
