The Florida Breweries Report – September 2020
While showing positive monthly sales growth in September 2020, Florida breweries were still almost 10% below September 2019’s numbers.
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.
- Seven new Florida breweries in September 2020: Woven Water Brewing Company (Tampa), Magnanimous Brewing (Tampa), Southern Fields Brewing (Campbellton), Persimmon Hollow Brewing Co. (Orlando), Motorworks Brewing (Orlando), Florida Avenue Brewing Co. (Wesley Chapel), and Hyderhead Brewery (DeLand).
- 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 September 2020, the total number of licensed breweries stood at 415. Of those, 380 breweries reported taxpaid sales in September.
- Month-to-month taxpaid sales rose by 6.02% in September 2020. Total taxpaid sales during the rolling last-twelve-months (LTM) fell by 0.74%. Compared to September 2019, LTM taxpaid sales were down by 10.92% in September 2020.
- For reporting breweries, the average taxpaid sales per brewery in September 2020 was 21.16 barrels, a monthly increase of 1.10 barrels per brewery.
- In September 2020, Florida breweries’ taxpaid sales accounted for 0.71% of all beer sales in Florida (7.1 out of 1,000 beers sold).
