THE ERA OF TRUMP

Beer sales decline

The state monopoly will be the most convenient for me, because while I know where to score green in the 6ix, out here in the sticks, there's no dope dealers around, except for over on the college campus, but they'd think I was a cop, so reorder online/grow your own, sanctioned by the Crown, that's just about right for me, Her Majesty provides, once again.

You can already do that. You just want permission like all the big government libshits want.

Well, I do prefer to be law abiding, if the Crown provides at a reasonable price and convenience, then civil disobedience is no longer warranted, I would indeed prefer to not have to sneak around like a juvenile delinquent, getting a bit old for that now.

Seattle craft breweries aren’t happy.

From the article you cited.

So far the fears of declining beer drinkers may be just that: fear. In Colorado, 2016 taxes received by the state on alcohol sales actually increased between January and November. Beer tax receipts climbed 4.5%, spirits rose 4.0% and wine increased 3.3%. Tax receipts did decline in the months of April, July, September and October for each of the alcohol categories. It’s possible that on certain occasions like 4/20 and the fourth of July, consumers switch to cannabis, but overall alcohol is thriving in Colorado.

I get the gist of what you are saying but I think beer can recover. As for Seattle craft breweries that is an overcrowded scene that drop just might be a much needed correction.

I don't foresee any hit to beer sales here, it's not like we haven't been smoking weed the whole time, and it's not like you drink beer to get a buzz, I'd have to drink a whole case to get drunk, beer is a soft drink for all intents and purposes, we smoke and drink at the same time, first you get high, then your break out the tobacco, whisky and beer chasers, same as it ever was.

Wayne's World ain't gonna change, just because the Queen starts slinging green, if beer sales are down, that's because we can't smoke at a bar or patio anymore, and the youngin's these days don't party like we used to, they just stay home and talk on their phones, they barely leave the house at all.

What the???

Guess I was was wrong to assume the articles all cited the same study. Here’s the study I thought I cited the first time:
http://time.com/money/4592317/legal-mar ... eer-sales/

With all three of these states now having fully implemented a [marijuana] retail infrastructure, the underperformance of beer in these markets has worsened over the course of 2016,” the researchers wrote.

Domestic brewers like Anheuser Busch-InBev and MilllerCoors have seen the largest drops. Sales volume of premium brews like Coors Light and Bud Light dipped by 4.4%, while economy brews—the regular forms of mainstream beers like Budweiser or Coors—dipped by 2.4%.

Craft beer also took a hit: Though it continues to grow, smaller breweries aren’t performing as well as their counterparts around the nation. Weed’s popularity has also started to affect breweries’ bottom lines: Individual yearly spending on legal weed has outpaced that of alcohol, a survey found in July.

The shift is most prominent in Denver, where total beer volumes plummeted by 6.4%. The gravitation toward legal weed particularly noticeable in 18 to 25 year-olds, who are using more cannabis yet have also stopped drinking as much alcohol, according to government data.

I haven’t invested a ton of time into analyzing it, the study just made a brief splash in the local news over here. Obviously “Brewbound” might have an agenda.

Notice this from 2016 just when these things are coming on line. As your previous article suggested that once the novelty wears off I think beer will recover. No smoking means no smoking. Are people toking up in front of children? I don't think so, but you drink a cold one with a kid around.
