Beer Purchasers’ Index Cleared the 50 Mark in October

Dear Client:The NBWA's Beer Purchasers' Index stood a skosh above the magic mark of 50 for the month of October. Recall that the survey asks purchasers at distributorships if they ordered more, the same or less beer from their suppliers in the current month - a reading greater than 50 indicates segment expansion; below 50 indicates contraction.The October score of 50.5 is a nice jump from September's dismal reading of 41.3, and a modest increase over the October 2016 reading,
