HYDERABAD, India, Oct. 2, 2025 / PRNewswire / -- According to a new report by Mordor Intelligence,  the global alcoholic beverages industry is set to grow from USD 1.83 trillion in 2025 to USD 2.2 trillion by 2030, at a CAGR of 3.57%,  driven by premiumization, policy liberalization, and evolving consumption habits. A post-COVID rebound in international tourism, generating over USD 1.6 trillion in visitor receipts last year, has reignited on-premises demand in hotels, restaurants, and resorts globally. The  alcoholic beverages market  growth is driven by rising consumer preference for low- and no-alcohol products, growing tourism and hospitality activities, product differentiation in packaging and alcohol content, and an expanding social drinking culture. These factors are collectively shaping the market's evolution across both established and emerging regions. Market Shifts and Emerging Narrative Premiumization remains the central narrative shaping the alc...

COLUMBUS, Ohio — The  Ohio Craft Brewers Association , representing the state’s more than 400 small and independent breweries, supports the continued ability of our member breweries to produce and sell Ohio Department of Agriculture compliant, low-dose, intoxicating hemp beverages. This innovative category offers a vital new revenue stream for our small businesses, meets evolving consumer demands and reinforces Ohio's position as a leader in craft beverage production. Governor DeWine’s public health emergency declaration and ban of the sale of intoxicating hemp products, while well-intentioned, ignores the diligence and rigorousness of the manufacturing practices Ohio craft breweries follow to ensure the safety of all of their products. The Ohio Craft Brewers Association calls for the General Assembly to put forth reasonable regulation of these products, with input from responsible manufacturers and sellers of intoxicating hemp beverages, rather than enacting a total ban. "Ohi...

FORT BRAGG, Calif., Sept. 18, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- North Coast Brewing Company (NCBC) has earned a bronze medal at the prestigious European Beer Star 2025 competition for its Laguna Baja Mexican-style dark lager. This year, there were close to 2,200 beers competing in 74 wide-ranging categories.

Canada's oldest and largest independent brewery will honour this milestone by giving its biggest fan the chance to own the "Last Bottle" off the production line SAINT JOHN, NB, Sept. 16, 2025 /CNW/ - Moosehead Breweries has announced that, beginning early next year, its selection of beers will no longer be sold in bottles, a move that reflects a long-term shift in consumer preferences. Today, only 7% of beer in Canada is sold in bottles - while 85% is sold in cans, an increase from just 65% only five years ago. "When I started my career at Moosehead 32 years ago, 90 per cent of the beer being sold in Canada was in bottles. Today, consumer preference has shifted," explains Andrew Oland, President and CEO, Moosehead Breweries. "This decision to move away from bottles hasn't been taken lightly — after all, the Moosehead green bottle has been an iconic symbol of our brewery for generations. But ultimately, we're following the lead set by Canadian...
