Yeah, but that’s crafts market share. They are chipping away at the macros, and now it seems the smaller micros are chipping away from the larger craft guys. It’ll stabilize one day but it will take awhile.

I don’t disagree with you. I’ve just heard this same exact thing since 2011. You have to wonder at one point is a while?

This.

It is slowly transforming into 3 tiers

- Large macro-brewery with distro across entire regions of the country, some across the entire country.
- Craft breweries with state-wide distro plus some. Main revenue source is distro, but still small enough to have brewery-only release stuff.
- True micro-breweries. Sales are almost 100% on-site with the exception of sending some kegs to bars in the area.... Except I get the feeling LA laws are preventing the smallest tier from existing here.
