The Florida Breweries Report – November 2020
Monthly taxpaid sales dropped almost 10% in November 2020, but the drop in LTM taxpaid sales compared to November 2019 was better than prior two months.
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.
Three new Florida breweries in November 2020: King Fox Brewery (Hialeah), Dented Keg Ale Works (New Port Richey), and Florida Craft Brewery (Sanford).
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 ^.
In November 2020, the total number of licensed breweries stood at 418. Of those, 378 breweries reported taxpaid sales in November.
Month-to-month taxpaid sales fell by 9.53% in November 2020. Total taxpaid sales during the rolling last-twelve-months (LTM) fell by 1.00%. Compared to November 2019, LTM taxpaid sales were down by 10.75% in November 2020.
For reporting breweries, the average taxpaid sales per brewery in November 2020 was 22.08 barrels, a monthly decrease of 2.65 barrels per brewery.
In November 2020, Florida breweries’ taxpaid sales accounted for 0.78% of all beer sales in Florida (7.8 out of 1,000 beers sold).
