The 2025 Year in Beer

On tap this week: A break down a beer industry in flux, from the Brewers Association’s 2025 Year in Beer report showing continued contraction and closures to Anheuser-Busch’s decision to shut down its iconic New Jersey brewery and its last remaining Bay Area facility. We look at what those moves say about where beer is headed in 2026. Also hit some lighter headlines, including which NFL fan bases drink the most on game day, Is the Budweiser’s free-beer-for-vaccination promotion real, and the newly announced 2026 American Craft Beer Hall of Fame nominees. And we close with the shocking Charlotte case involving a brewery owner’s arrest and the ripple effects across the local beer scene. All this and so much more presented by Cask Branding. Enjoy the show, cheers!Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/what-s-on-tap-radio--1169677/support.
