July and August Newsletter FRANK B.FUHRER WHOLESALE COMPANY FRANK B.FUHRER WHOLESALE COMPANY July and August Newsletter By Mike Pomranz How Will Coronavirus Impact Craft Beer? Updated June 23, 2020 Brewers Association predictions suggest small brewers need your support now more than ever. For generations, in times of stress, beer has offered an outlet: a chance to relax and a chance to socialize. Unfortunately, in these stressful times of social distancing, quarantines, and bar closures, 7/01/2020 the coronavirus has stripped beer of half its powers: It can still intoxicate, but it shouldn’t socially lubricate. So the question becomes what does that mean for the brewing industry? Clearly, fewer Inside this issue: people will be going out to drink, but will more people be stockpiling at home? And what about smaller breweries that rely on taproom sales? COORS/DIAGEO/ 2-5 Yesterday, Bart Watson—chief economist for the craft beer trade group the Brewers Association BOSTON DIVISION (BA)—weighed in on “The Coming Economic Challenges Facing Craft Brewers.” Despite the title of his analysis, his assessment was about as upbeat as things can be at a time when entire industries are YUENGLING/ 6-13 at risk of getting decimated. Two things appear to work in beer’s advantage: One, it’s the kind of IMPORT/ CRAFT item some people may want to be well-stocked with during an emergency, and two, even in times of ANHUESER 14-18 economic trouble, people don’t necessarily give up their brewskis. BUSCH DIVISION Of course, on-premise sales at bars, restaurants, and breweries are in trouble, and Watson didn’t pull BREWERY NEWS 19-23 any punches, saying sales “are certain to fall.” And yet, for breweries that package their beer, “the short-term effects may be more mixed.” “Some consumers may actually buy more beer as they prepare to self-isolate,” he writes. “That said, beer is a luxury, and so others may buy less as they stock up on other goods.” For now, though, the numbers would seem to show that beer is a part of people’s prepping plan. For BA-defined craft breweries, sales volumes had actually been down 0.3 percent for the first nine weeks of 2020 compared to last year, but last week, sales jumped up 3.7 percent over the year before. “One week is a small sample that I typically don’t like to show, but these are unusual times,” Watson wrote. Special points of in- And what about long term? If the stock market is any indication, our economic situation moving terest: forward could be troublesome. But again, Watson speculates that beer as a category may be okay. “The good news is, although beer on average has performed slightly worse during recessions than • Yuengling COVID-19 during periods of economic growth, the differences aren’t huge,” he writes. “My oft-repeated phrase support on the subject is ‘beer isn’t recession proof, but it’s recession resistant.’” In general, beer has been relatively stable during economic downturns; though Watson also explicitly • Tailgate with Yuengling states, “Comparing a recession brought on by a novel virus pandemic to one brought on by bankers taking huge risky bets on the housing market isn’t taught in Econ 101.” • Coors Light College Foot- ball program The worst impact may be reserved for the smallest breweries. Watson told me via email that independent breweries—which now number over 8,000 and have consistently and significantly grown over the past decade—could be in trouble. “This will halt and perhaps reverse the growth in the • Labatt Is Showering number of breweries in the short-term,” he explained. “It’s impossible to predict how many breweries Essential Workers will close this year, but it’s going to be the highest number we’ve seen in recent years.” • Win Watkins Glen VIP His suggestion: If you have a local brewery you love, do everything you can to support them. Experience “Consider buying beer to go (if available) or purchasing a gift card from [your] favorite local brewery (or favorite five or ten),” he said. “Thousands of breweries around the country are currently seeing cash flow dry up and until the government steps in, they still have rent to pay.” COORS/DIAGEO/BOSTON DIVISION Page 2 FRANK B.FUHRER WHOLESALE COMPANY Molson Coors to launch Coors Seltzer in July Coors Seltzer – A hard seltzer made with a mission to taste good and do good.

Parties, F beers and even local grocery store celebrations carry the Oktoberfest label now. Read on to learn more about where it started and what it’s all about. MUNICH: THE ORIGINAL It started as a horse race to celebrate the wedding of Bavarian King Ludwig I to Theresie of Saxe- Hildburghausen in 1810, according to Oktoberfest.de, the official website of the Munich celebration. That race became an annual event that evolved into today’s Oktoberfest, a celebration of good German beer and fun rides. The festival, which lasts around 20 days, attracts more than six million people now and has spread around the world. THE BEER No matter where they’re held, Oktoberfest is all about beer. In Munich, the beer served is usually a little stron- ger than usual and is usually served eine Maß (eyen mazz), or in a liter. The varieties served are Augustiner, Paulaner, Spaten-Franziskaner, Löwebräu, Hacker-Pschorr and Hofbräu. In 2017, more than seven million liters of beer were consumed in Munich.

  • Oktoberfest: More Than a Wedding Party | Serious Eats Oktoberfest: More Than a Wedding Party
    3/30/2021 Oktoberfest: More Than a Wedding Party | Serious Eats Oktoberfest: More Than a Wedding Party LISA GRIMM Munich's Oktoberfest began not as a beer festival, but with a royal wedding—on October 12, 1810, Crown Prince Ludwig I of Bavaria married Therese of Saxe-Hildburghausen, and Bavaria rejoiced—after all, he would not be forced to abdicate for another 38 years (after an aair with renowned Irish actress/dancer/courtesan Lola Montez )—and everyone in Munich was invited by the Bavarian National Guard to enjoy the ve-day party. The eld in which most events were held became known as Theresienwiese, in honor of the princess. In fact, it was so much fun (and remuneratively rewarding for Munich's city fathers) that it was decided to celebrate the royal couple's anniversary each year in similar style. The initial draw for the annual festivities was not the beer, but the horse racing—in fact, food and drink stalls did not become standard practice until 1818. Things did not really become organized until the late nineteenth century, when some of the other instantly familiar elements of Munich's Oktoberfest arrived to the party—wearing traditional lederhosen and dirndls began in 1887 . While these other changes were taking place, beer (which had been served from informal tents and stalls for many years, occasionally as a highlight, but often as just part of the scenery) began to move to the fore. Beginning in 1896, Munich's major breweries began ocially sponsoring semi-permanent beer halls ; only beer brewed within the city limits was allowed to be served.

The original "Oktoberfest" occurred in Munich, on October 12, 1810: For the commemoration of their marriage, Crown Prince Ludwig (later King Ludwig I) and Princess Therese of Saxe-Hildburghausen (namesake of the Theresienwiese festival grounds) organized a great horse race (the marriage took place on October 12; the horse race on October 17 — therefore, there are different dates named as being the first Oktoberfest). The Oktoberfest is a sixteen-day festival held each year in Munich, Bavaria, Germany during late September (and running to early October). It is one of the most famous events in the city and the world's largest fair, with some six million people attending every year, and is an enjoyable event with an important part of Bavarian cul- ture. Other cities across the world also hold Oktoberfest celebrations, modeled after the Munich event. Happy Birthday, America! At this moment , on July 4th, this Summer Fall Newsletter is going into production. In our hearts we feel very fortunate and happy to live in this great country.
