[@Tinomentoll]

The beer companies have been on a spending spree and most of your "craft" breweries that you see at the supermarket is also owned by the big brewers. Truth is like many industries "Millenials are killing", beer across the board is seeing declining sales. This is partially the fault that Millennials do not have the same disposable income as generations before it, but also millennials have less leisure time. If anything I would say energy drinks are replacing beer for this generation, with the need to be constantly hustling for a new gig or the need to stay focused while you blow off steam by playing a game.

[@mjallen1308]

[@neocodexx]

@@MajorMlgNoob that is true they certainly cannot produce on the same scale. And if they would it would not be of same quality. It is just the part where they say beer drinkers switched to wine that is absolutely false. We simply switched to better beer, been over 12 years for me - and a few likeminded friends, since we bought the last lager at the supermarket. Microbrew has been growing in market share in the last decade that is a fact. This is where their losses are coming from, true beer lovers dont just "switch to wine". Can you even get drunk from Bud Light? It feels more like poisoning to me last time I tried it. Instant headache after second beer and starting to feel heavy and tired, acompanied by stomach aches at times too. Never happens with more expensive craft beers with much higher alcohol abv, isnt that a bit strange. A 6pack of industrial lager will get me absolutely wasted - I call it poisoned, but drink a 6 pack of 7-8% double or triple ipa you will simply be drunk but not wasted.

[@Fabianwew]

A lot of the microbrewerys will go bust in the next few years. I'm a brewer myself and I love the craft, but it's a fad. Highly dependent on people willing to buy expensive cases.

[@gwcrispi]

"Corn syrup is a normal part of the brewing process." Umm... no it isn't. Even if they're talking about starting with corn syrup to get to their malt, you're still not supposed to be using corn (or rice). Barley, hops, yeast and water. Anything else is just because you're being cheap.

[@fahs]

I am a faculty advisor for a fraternity. 30 years ago when I was in school, every college party had this breakdown: 80% beer, 10% wine, 10% spirits. It is gradually changed, especially the last ten years or so to about one fourth beer, one fourth wine, one fourth spirits, and one fourth going dry. When they do drink beer, it is mostly the more expensive craft beers. Rather than drink a case of Natural Light, they would rather drink a six pack of something high end.I don;t know why this has happened.... but I have a theory.

[@TheDude4077]

A big factor I think is drinking age laws. Used to be in a lot of states you could get beer at 18, wine and spirits at 21. This gave beer a natural advantage as it was much easier to obtain. Now that's not the case and the drinking age is 21 for everything in all 50 states, so the playing field is a lot more level.

That ad always blew my mind because corn syrup is a higher quality fermentable compared to rice syrup which is what AB uses.

[@28ebdh3udnav]

Maybe making better quality beer like Mexican imports and foreign beer would work?

[@nheise]

good for you guys for stepping up and doing a story that's one and a half to 3 years old.

[@danrodrigues3531]

I never liked or really understood the 'dilly dilly' ad campaign. It's still the same, shitty beer...

[@Cjinglaterra]

Bud Light is for people who don't like beer.

[@KillianDefaoite]

I love this! Big companies SHOULD be competing, not collaborating.

[@ca_renegade]

Craft beer>>>>>>>>> ...but since I'm on a diet I'm going to go with Miller Lite cause it has half the carbs. Or Michelob Ultra. Or Corona Premier. Or hard liquor and diet soda or something of that nature.

[@losingitrush]

Bunch of low cal craft brews out there now.

[@MikeGrahamDSM]

Wow. An entire video about beer company rivalries. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@didiwin78]

"Wine and spirits" No mention of the craft beer industry?

[@jbllc6873]

That’s because they’ve been quietly buying up their craft competitors.

[@dodogerman5286]

At 7:25 she mentions another video to craft beers

[@jaridkeen123]

Its mainly Marijuana.

[@caseym8179]

I got a beer ad in the middle of this video lol

[@NA.NA..]

People are drinking small craft beers. There not drinking wine and spirits.

[@calebweldon8102]

N/A N/A they can be doing both.

[@tookitogo]

Wine and spirits consumption HAS been stealing market share from beer. And within the beer segment, craft beers and higher quality mass produced beers have been rapidly displacing “Big Beer”.

[@sillylittlemonkey7130]

7:33 As a young person I can say with absolute confidence that this is a bunch of shite and the people surveyed were probably really posh

[@Hellefleur]

People buy canned water??! But it comes out of the tap!

[@jannetteberends8730]

A perfect example of game theory. I’m a retired high school teacher of economics. But I could have used this video in my classroom.

[@MNMNMNMNMNMNMNMNMNMNMNMNMNMN]

I love how every successful channel in this niche has a narrator who can't pronounce a single FUCKING word

[@____-pb1lg]

The awkward pauses between sentence are getting on my nerves

[@SimonTangers]

Vocal fry

[@ChenLiYong]

Me: insert *you guys drink beer?* meme

[@TechGamesAU]

I’d drink any beer with Ali Larkin 😍

[@arldrinbautista9103]

I see you sir a man of culture as well.

[@kexek7975]

I had a bud light ad🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@charlesjessie1733]

Miller LITE, it's IT, and that's that.

[@migangelmart]

You must be in the front row.

[@franciscomendonca6295]

3:38 Want a beer president? BETTER CALL SAUL!

[@MidnightBloomDev]

Just sell it in Czech Republic. We drink more beer than water

[@paigekrome1141]

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) You’d be fooled then, because American beer is water.

[@yoshi92491]

@@paigekrome1141 hahahaha

[@BEE-jb9gj]

Perfect throw pillows for this video.

[@mndlessdrwer]

Haha, the big 4 own a large number of the "craft beer" breweries.

[@Matoro-wp9hy]

Beer Companies: why aren't people buying beer? Consumers: We just prefer crap beer, or stronger alcohol Beer Companies: I've got it, more ads

[@That1PlaceBehindTheBush]

Solution: Make a beer that pairs well with smoking weed 😉

[@TheDude4077]

That would be PBR my friend

[@CMAllstars]

I enjoy a nice craft beer most of the time, but nothing beats an ice cold Miller High Life 😂😂
