Sweet Jebus, things are so bad that everyone has switched to Natty Light!
apparently they weren't tracking my consumption
I have to agree. My consumption has been falling as of late. It's a sad day indeed.
Everyone seems to think the model is "switch from craft beer to cheaper macros." I disagree.
Macros make up +90% of the beer market, so this -9.3% drop is mostly a decline in macro sales. Nothing here to indicate craft beer consumers are consuming less, or switching to "cheaper" brands.
