The 25 Fastest Growing U.S. Breweries on Untappd - Craft Brewers Conference Series (3/5)
This is the third of five newsletter updates revealing data from my Untappd Insights: Consumer, Beer, Brewery, and On-Premise Pricing Trends presentation at the Craft Brewers Conference in Nashville on May 8th!
We provided complimentary Brewery Consumer Reports to brewers who demoed our Ollie brewery management software platform at CBC (as well as to current Ollie customers). We’re extending that offer to this readership – schedule a demo of Ollie here and we’ll provide you with a free Brewery Consumer Report on your brewery.
Time for the big reveal… let’s look at the 25 fastest growing U.S. breweries on Untappd between 2020 and 2022.
To highlight breweries with fast absolute check-in growth as well as rapid percentage growth, we cut the data two ways. The first table above outlines the 25 breweries with the highest growth in number of check-ins between 2020 and 2022 (minimum of 500 check-ins in 2020), while the second covers the 25 breweries with the highest growth rate (minimum of 500 check-ins in 2020) for the same time period.
In terms of absolute growth, Fidens takes gold, with Tripping Animals and Dewey claiming bronze and silver, respectively. With respect to percentage growth, those on the podium in order of finish are First State, Xül, and The Seed. On a personal note, I was glad to see Pittsburgh-based and beautifully named Trace Brewing among the five fastest growing breweries on a percentage basis.
Two other notes – (1) it is impressive the check-in growth that breweries with >50,000 check-ins in 2020, like Drekker, Ever Grain, Side Project, and Dewey, have been able to maintain and (2) there are fast growing breweries throughout the country – the geographic diversity in both these tables should be heartening to craft brewers and consumers everywhere.
That’s all for today – we’ll be back with our fourth of in this five-part series, revisiting on-premise pricing trends later this week.
Until then, check-in your beers!
