The Rising Influence of Rising Affluence

[semi_infinite]

Not a big beer drinker myself but i have a lot left over from a party a few weeks ago. Had a lot of wine left over as well and gave those away. I ordered what the bartender suggested (approx 2-1 wine/beer in servings) and half of each was consumed. Beers used to be less than a glass of wine at restaurants but no more with the craft beers so perhaps there is substitution. Also, amongst younger friends, most prefer craft or small labels whereas the older folks still go with major brands like Bud or Coors. Foreign craft beers have spoiled me to the point that I rarely touch those big brand name beers. I would rather drink water or wine. So if I am representative, then there is something to the trend and the big companies need to up their game, or buy smaller craft breweries. The latter has been happening.
