Imported Beers Coexist with the US Craft Movement
By Thomas Henry Strenk
With their centuries of brewing experience, worldwide reputations and global distribution networks, import brands still command prestige in the U.S. beer market today. There is also a craft scene emerging overseas inspired by the success of the microbrew movement on this side of the Pond. There are plenty of on-premise opportunities tailor-made for the import category, and customers are willing to pay more for premium beers of the world.

I recently stayed at hotel that was trying to ramp up to be a luxury property. This property was on California’s Sonoma Coast, where it poured rain all weekend–as it often does. Unfortunately for the guests, no umbrellas were left in the rooms and no staff members were available to walk guests to their cars or the dining room.
