Game Plan Going Forward?
The BWC Company
Craft Brewer Strengths & OpportunitiesCraft is CLEARLY NOT healthy in non-reported IRi / Nielsen trade channels!
1. Expanding tasting room presence (Bigger, Multiple Locations)
2. IPAs – Flavors, Packaging, New Style Variants (Brut), Mix-Packs
3. Flavors Attracting NEW Shoppers to Beer
4. Rotational & Special Releases Keep Brewery Top of Mind and In The News
5. Variety Packs (Rotating, New / Exclusive Brands)
6. Brewery-only Releases → 4/16, 375mL, 500mL Sold ONLY at Tasting Room➢ Social Media Presence / Drives Brand Awareness
7. LOCAL is still a Critical Element for Building Loyalty
8. Experience, Adventure, Social Gathering Points
9. Flexibility & Nimbleness to React Quicker to Consumer Demands
10. Diversification beyond Beer → Spirits, Vineyards, Restaurants, Taprooms, Brewpubs
11. Tank Banks (Margin, Profitability, Innovation & Incubation)➢ BWC estimates ~4MM BBLs sold direct to consumer
12. Inelastic pricing environment (Room to Grow)
13. Craft (Ownership) Personalities are a Strong Marketing/Sales Advantage
14. Craft Consolidation (ABV), Collaborations and Social Media (Sierra Nevada) Strengths
15. Craft Being Primarily Privately Held does NOT Need to Report Quarterly Earnings and
can Make Better Long-Term Business Decisions and Not Rely on Dropping Prices to
Achieve a Wall St. Expected Volume Target
The BWC Company
Recipe for Success
1. Quality – Beer, Package, Marketing, Message
2. Math Skills – ABP’s that Make Sense
3. Compass – Have a Plan on Where you Want to Go and How you want to
get there
4. People – Hard-Working, Ethical, Loyal,
5. Points of Differentiation – What Makes Your Brewery/Brands Unique
6. Branded Story – What is YOUR Message
7. Zig-Zag – Are your Growth Strategies/Plans Aligned with your Customers
8. Look in the Mirror– Who Does it Better and How Can you Adapt
9. Portfolio Diversification – Flagship + Flankers
10. Crystal Ball – Think Ahead, Zig when others Zag
11. Homework – WHY are People Drinking your Beer, How Often, Switching
12. Don’t Be a Quitter – You are NOT Entitled to WIN
13. Tape Measure – Measure what Needs to be Done
14. Thermometer – Prioritize Your Work
15. Bifocals – FOCUS on what Needs to get DONE
