Boston Beer Company Mission statement is to “seek long-term profitable growth by offering the highest quality product to the U.S. beer drinker”

The next project was bottling Gordon Biersch signature beer and retailing it. This had three biggest challenges: this project was entirely Gordon’s baby and demanded time and attention; secondly the freshness of the bottled beer versus the freshly brewed was an issue for which they decided the beer would have a shelf life no longer than three months. Thirdly and the most exciting challenge was the head-to-head competition with other microbreweries and premium beers. Despite the tough competitive environment, Gordon Biersch aimed to achieve 11% of the market in three years (by 1996). This retail venture required huge investment, thus they decided to start small to prove to the investors that they could pull it off.

The competition is steep in the alcohol business, which makes advertising important to reach sales and profit goals. In fact, in 2014, Beverage Information Group rated Busch Light and Busch to be the 6th and 7th top selling beers in America, being beaten by the following (from top selling): Bud Light, Coors Light, Budweiser, Miller Light, and Natural Light. In addition, Busch recently rebranded.

Beer is a huge market all over the world. There are a plethora of options, but how do you know which beer to choose, which is the best?

The campaign was primarily geared towards college students and young adults.

In order to stay on top of the industry, The Boston Beer Company needs to find new, innovative ways of being the most appealing craft beer available to the average consumer. While The Boston Beer Company offers many different varieties of seasonal beer, they should begin to shift their focus to year-round specialty beers, such as a line of regional flavors based on their consumer’s regional taste preferences.

Because Samuel Adams prides themselves on being a top notch craft beer producer, a lot rides on their reputation. Boston Beer and Samuel Adams have a strong reputation that rivals even the biggest of beer producers.

Samuel Adams has long been one of America’s most popular beer companies. The Boston Beer company prides itself on great tasting beer for the consumer, and profitable growth for the company. Although Samuel Adams beer is a popular beer in New England, it only holds just over 1% of the market share of the beer industry. Overwhelmed by popular brews such as Bud, Coors and Corona, Samuel Adams struggles to gain market share. Even with their low market share, they are still a profitable business.

The UK population is ageing, with an expected 11% increase in the number of retirees by 2017, posing a challenge for beer, as consumers reduce drinking as they get older, often on health grounds. This is reflected in the consumer data for this report, with usage of lager dropping off dramatically among over-55s, while usage of stout/ales, drinks which have a strong heritage in the UK and appeal to older drinkers, falls slightly behind average.

Even though it may leave out the younger consumer market, they can still draw interest from those individuals as they get older and become more likely to trying specialty beers. They could also look for ways to market

The trend towards premium beer consumption has slowed somewhat in the recent economic downturn; however, down-trading is limited and there are notable instances of consumers continuing to trade up, both into beer and, within the category, into premium products. Over the past decade, the beer industry has seen significant consolidation and this trend continued during 2008. On a pro forma basis, beer sales by the top 10 players now total approximately 65% of total global sales compared to less than 40% at the start of the century. In recent major developments, the division of Scottish and Newcastle’s business between Carlsberg and Heineken was completed during the first half of 2008 while InBev acquired Anheuser-Busch in November 2008.
