Craft beer cools in Texas: Who's up and who's down
Half of Texas' 10 largest craft breweries saw sales drop in 2024, according to an Axios analysis of Brewers Association data. Why it matters: The craft beer market continues to cool as breweries face rising costs and a slowdown in drinking among younger generations. By the numbers: Gambrinus Company, based in San Antonio and home to the Shiner brand, sold more beer than any other Texas craft brewery in 2024 — nearly 454,000 barrels — despite a 3% dip from 2023. The Manhattan Project Beer Co. (Dallas) and Saint Arnold Brewing Co. (Houston) saw the largest statewide growth at 41% and 5%, respectively. Community Beer Co. (Dallas) posted the steepest decline at 31%. Zoom in: Real Ale Brewing Co. and Altstadt Brewery — both near San Antonio — had flat years, with 0% and 1% growth.

Detroit brewery defies Michigan beer slump
A Detroit-based craft brewery saw explosive growth last year — but that isn't the norm across the state. Why it matters: The figures indicate that Michigan's well-established beer scene is not exempt from the tough times plaguing the industry nationally. State of play: The state's largest brewer, Short's, which has a production facility up north in Elk Rapids, saw sales dip 6% in 2024 compared to the prior year, our analysis of Brewers Association data shows. Old Nation, maker of the M-43 New England IPA and other beers, also saw a single-digit sales decline, as did Keweenaw, Blackrocks and Birmingham-based Griffin Claw breweries. Yes, but: Detroit's Eastern Market Brewing Co. saw a whopping 59% sales increase, becoming the state's ninth-largest brewer. Zoom in: EMBC's spike in sales follows an aggressive expansion strategy that's played out in recent years. The company's sister brewery, the Ferndale Project, announced a deal this month with Kalamazoo-based distributor Imperial Beverage to sell Ferndale Project beers statewide. EMBC also launched a local pizza venture, Elephant & Co., with locations in Midtown and Royal Oak that serve its beer. What they're saying: Eastern Market Brewing Co. founder Dayne Bartscht told Crain's that the Imperial distribution deal is a silver lining as the industry struggles. "We've always taken pride in our self-distribution model," Bartscht said. "It's helped us grow smart, stay close to our customers, and remain nimble. That approach built the kind of brand strength and market presence that made this opportunity possible." The big picture: Despite some beermakers' declining sales, more breweries opened in-state last year than closed. The Colorado-based Brewers Association counted 21 openings and 17 closings across Michigan.
