What do you think is coming? Are you optimistic that growth will continue and this stagnant growth year nationally is just a blip? Or are you like me and think this is too big of a sign to ignore, that the nationwide market for craft beer is definitely changing from what it was. Why does it appear that nationally craft beer appears to be hitting a ceiling?
I think overall, growth will slow, but good new breweries will push crappy brewers out, and people are choosing local breweries over regional. I think you very well may see a slowdown in in the increase in overall sales, but an increase in the number of breweries. We're seeing that in Oregon, where breweries like Widmer Brothers and Bridgeport are losing marketshare to smaller, local brewpubs.
I don't know how the trend is going down there, but the equivalent would be that Abita would struggle, while Gnarley Barley, Parish, and Great Raft grow.

Abita is fine and there is a reason why Canebrake is Parish's best seller, light/wheat beer sells better to the mass.

You see something similar to in Texas and less extent Louisiana when new breweries enter the market. There was a time that Founders or Oscr blues coming was a huge deal. Now they shelf turd and are a after thought beside a handful of beers.
I hardly see anyone buying Bell's in Texas.
It obviously isn't hurting the bigger craft breweries bottom line or else they wouldn't expand but anecdotally it seems people are buying more locally. From a consumer, Local beers just tend to be fresher.
