Boston Beer Company Business Analysis

Bimbo Bakeries USA, headquartered in Horsham, Pennsylvania is the United States affiliate of Grupo Industrial Bimbo, founded in Mexico City, Mexico. Though Grupo Bimbo is now a multinational corporation, it began as a single family-owned bakery in Mexico City called “El Molino”. Lorenzo Servitje Sendra worked with his father in the family bakery throughout his childhood, but when his father died in 1936 he had to take over. Lorenzo was educated and ambitious, and together with three of his family members devised a plan to increase the scope of their business. They bought five delivery vans to deliver their breads, wrapped in plastic to preserve freshness, to various small stores daily. Customers loved their product and within a few years they had increased production and were expanding outside of Mexico City.

Bismarck, North Dakota is the capital of the state that was admitted to the Union in 1889. Rich in American history, the city was founded in 1872, in what was then the Dakota Territory. The name is derived from the Dakota branch of the Sioux tribes that were native to the area.

The first company I selected, is New Belgium Brewing whose “mission”, or as they refer to it, “purpose” statement, “To manifest our love and talent by crafting our customers' favorite brands and proving business can be a force for good.” [1] This purpose is demonstrated in many of the good will acts and environmentally positive impacts the NBB Company creates.

Upon entering the foyer at Trader Joe’s there was a totem pole shape figure for recycling bags. The store was brightly lit giving clear view of fruits and vegetables at the entrance. A majority of the products in the store were organic and contrary to Aldi, the prices were moderate to high. All of the items I viewed were not name brands were Trader Joe’s. The grocery carts are available at no charge to utilize during your visit at the store. The store was spacious and there was plenty of room to maneuver the cart.

According to Times magazine, the most successful commercial to air during Super Bowl 2014 was “Puppy Love” by Budweiser beer (Times.com). The 90 second commercial draws minimal attention to the brand, but is loaded with symbols and ideologies of what represents America. With “Let Her Go” by Passenger playing in the background, the commercial begins with showing a sign on ranch that says “Warm Springs: Puppy Adoption” and then cuts to a Labrador puppy breaking free from its group of other puppies to visit Clydesdale, the official horse of Budweiser. The puppy has gone through rain and crawled under fences just to visit the horse and has been caught by the owners on many occasions. One day, the puppy is finally given up for adoption and gets driven off the ranch.

I think what sets Budweiser apart from other beer brands is consistency like I stated up above. Anheuser-Busch has been in the beer industry a long time just like Coca-Cola. Budweiser is the “King of Beer” which is the slogan printed on all their bottles or cans. Another reason the Budweiser brand is different from other beer brands is because the amount of advertising Anheuser-Busch does. Budweiser is in every major sports arena that you can think of, they spend millions of dollars in advertising alone on Super Bowl Sunday. As a kid growing up the only beer I could ever remember the name of was Budweiser, which is the goal they are trying to achieve. Anheuser-Busch wants the average American to think of Budweiser when they go to buy a beer.

The Coalition of Immokalee provides workers of the fast food business with the support that’s needed to fight for their rights.

The Market. How should one think about market definition in the U.S. beer industry? Is there a single “beer market,” or are there several markets? If there are two or more markets, how would you identify them? How does demand substitutability and/or supply substitutability affect market boundaries in the industry?
