In a world where large, corporate breweries rule the market, craft beer is created to please an audience that applauds the styles, techniques and flavors. Though craft beer can be purchased through several different outlets, the best place to thoroughly enjoy the entire experience of the specially made beer is in the brewery where it was made. The article titled, “In Lean Times, a Stout Dream” in The Wall Street Journal1 states that, despite the hard economic times and consequent consumer cutbacks, sales of craft beer, the industry 's fastest-growing segment, rose

By eliminating Lightship and introducing a new beer, it will signal to consumers that a real change has occurred with BBC’s product offering. It will show consumers that the new beer is a “fresh and improved” version that is the best in the light beer market. Additionally, it will be able to escape any of the negative connotations Lightship had while on the market. However, this alternative includes high risks, as BBC will be introducing a new product onto the market.

TastingRoom Inc. has launched a new technology that allows wineries to offer authentic 50 ml sample-sized bottles of their products. The process allows for wineries to package and preserve the exact quality and taste of their wine, in a sample size bottle.

Of the three age groups, fifty and older consumers are the age group with the smallest preference for beer. Figure 2 on the following page compares the alcoholic beverage preference for three major age groups.

Advertising is a major factor in the promotion of a product and/ or a company and it provides a visual element for the customers to remember (Ferrell and Hartline, 2005, p. 182). The commercial that was first created, depicted everything the company stood for in a brief overview of the product and it was essential in marketing the product and company to new customers. In every commercial NBB creates, the marketing team needs to stay focused on how and why the company was created and try to reach as many customers as possible. The company needs to stay true to their roots and not get diverted away from the mission statement of the company because a down to earth approach is more appealing to customers. When a customer can identify and associate with the ad, it is more likely that the ad will help develop and strengthen the brand making it more appealing to customers (Cramphorn, 2014). Therefore, New Belgium Brewing needs to focus on employee commitment to their mission statement and creating advertisements that customers can identify with in order to makes its branding and messaging resonate with consumers in different parts of the

Target audience: The advertising is aimed at young or mid-aged male consumers. The two major characters are both young men, and they talked about beer-drinking occasions themed with young people, such as parties, golf course, and pubs for cowboys.

Beer has a long history. In 2000 B.C.E., Sumerians had prepared eight different beer types, ranging from “strong,” “red brown,” and “good dark” (Mauk, 2013). Breweries have created their own recipes, brewed their own beers—some with alcohol, some without. Over the past few years, craft beer gained steady market share away from the national and international breweries (Murray & O 'Neill, 2012). Separating one beer from the next is the product itself, and what the product has to offer. Competition is ferocious due to more informed, sophisticated consumers, as well as globalization and the spread of technology (Murray & O 'Neill, 2012).

Craft beer should not only be sold as premium beer among graduates and people with income of more than 75000 USD but also to people with moderate income.

Best Western is positioned well in countering competition from these brands as Best Western has developed a targeted marketing strategy that has identified what the customer is looking for in a valued product and has developed a niche market for our services.

The company will conduct marketing strategies that aim at creating an image for the brand in the minds of the consumers and reminding them customers about their products consistently.

Meanwhile, since Grolsch used other brewers for distribution while importing beer into foreign countries, the ongoing industry consolidation often led to a need for changing distributors. In several of their markets Grolsch was already on its third or fourth distributor in the span of 15 years. Besides the political, economic, and logistical issues Grolsch had to adapt to, they also were adapting to cultural differences. Their marketing campaigns would vary significantly from market-to-market. While their ability to be nimble, change strategies, and adapt where necessary has been a benefit, it has also been limiting in that Grolsch has struggled to build a consistent brand image and market position in several of its key markets. For example, even though the UK accounted for 25% of Grolsch’s volume, they still only held 1.5% of the UK market. Further, operations have been impacted by the consistent turnover of distributors in several important markets. Grolsch’s adaptation strategy has kept them nimble but has prevented any large scale and stability in certain countries outside the Netherlands.

Beer Company 1 is a “national brewer of mass-market consumer beers sold under a variety of brand names” (pg. 120). As one might expect, this national company has “an extensive network of breweries and distribution systems and owns some beer-related businesses” (pg. 120). It also owns several major theme parks.
