In this past week, we have seen a decrease in stock prices of the brewing industry. This is part due to an increase in demand for beer. With football, Oktoberfest, and other fall activities, the price of producing beer is increasing. This is what drives the price higher in your nearest supermarket, or gas station. It is the simple law of supply in demand. However, with this slight decline in stock prices, now is the time to buy!! The Boston Beer Company, known for its craft beers, would be a good company to invest in because of a recent increase in popularity of craft brews. I can still predict an increase in stock prices of the craft beer breweries. New seasonal beers are just hitting the market this week as we step into October. Also let’s not forget about Oktoberfest. We should see an increase in stocks also due to the millions of liters of beer being consumed.

Craft is Coming!

            The brewing industry has been changing more and more in recent years. It has seen a significant increase in craft beers and breweries. There are now more than 2,100 American breweries, compared to less a hundred only a few decades ago. Each year around the season change, you see more and more seasonal beers from a variety of companies. Also, each year these beers become more and more popular with consumers. The fall season I believe has the most activity in these craft beers. Oktoberfest and other Harvest related beers pop up of shelves in stores near you. From all of this we should see stock increases with the craft brewing companies throughout the rest of the fall season. As a result of everyone buying the limited time seasonal craft beers, we should see a slight decrease in the domestic beer companies. This is due to consumers buying the craft beers, rather than others. After some time has passed from there release we should see a decline then is the craft beers. It is like the Christmas music effect, most people listen to Christmas music throughout and leading up to Christmas, but as soon as it strikes 12 o’clock on December 26^th nobody wants to listen to Christmas music or even think about it, till the next year.

My last week prediction that stocks would increase due to the season opening for football. And with the exception of BUD, they did. I assume that the stock prices for the brewing industry will quietly increase, or stay relatively the same in the coming months. I still insist for the brewing companies on putting money into promotional items, and sponsorships for the NFL.

Other news this week has happened in the Molson Coors Brewing Company. They have been recognized for being named to the Dow Jones Sustainability North America Index (DJSI) for the second consecutive year. TAP being one of the 140 companies to be on the North America Index. The DJSI is an assessment of certain criteria including the economic, social, and environmental successes. The price for TAP stock has also hit a 52-week high. I can only see from here, that the stock price keeps rising throughout the year.

         Nothing like sitting back, watching some football while cracking open a cold one. Football season has arrived! The NFL kicked off their season today, and college football last week. The brewing industry should be wide awake for this year. With last year’s NFL lockout, the companies didn't get off to the start they hoped for. This year bring new promises and also a few new products. With new promotions for the NFL, Bud Light, product of BUD, is calling this year’s season "the year of the fan". Bud Light is sponsoring a fantasy football league, and also promises that during each commercial break of games, there will be at least 2 Bud light commercials. Other companies are also jumping into their football promotions. Due to incoming football season, I can assure that stockbrokers are ready to be buying more and more shares during the coming weeks. I think that companies should be puting money into promotional items for football games if they want there stocks to increase. Football is big in this country, and there is no way that beer will not be included in the fan festivities.
