            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 26th nobody wants to listen to Christmas music or even think about it, till the next year.
