The Florida Breweries Report – March 2021
Florida breweries had their best month ever in March 2021 in terms of taxpaid sales.
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: Four new Florida breweries in March 2021: Beach Island Brewery (Dunedin), Cerveceria la Tropical (Miami), Dade City Brew House (Dade City), and Horse Power Pavilion (Freeport).
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 March 2021, the total number of licensed breweries stood at 432. Of those, 379 breweries reported taxpaid sales for the month.
Monthly Performance: Month-to-month taxpaid sales increased by 16.62% in March 2021. Total taxpaid sales during the rolling last-twelve-months (LTM) increased by 2.97%. Compared to March 2020, LTM taxpaid sales were down by 36.31% in March 2021.
Average Monthly Production: For reporting breweries, the average taxpaid sales per brewery in March 2021 was 28.90 barrels, a monthly increase of 3.82 barrels per brewery.
Distribution: In March 2021, Florida breweries’ taxpaid sales accounted for 0.82% of all beer sales in Florida (8.2 out of 1,000 beers sold).
