Winter Beer Landscape
Stradegy
February is typically one of the more miserable months on the beer calendar when production falls about 3 million barrels off of its midsummer peak to its lowest point until the November-December holiday season.-Beer Institute and the Alcohol and tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau.

Bud Light Golden Wheat - National Launch
Kantar - Stradegy
● Bud Light launched “Golden Wheat” in Q3/Q4 of 2009
○ Within two years, An-Bev pulled the product line as sales suffered
● Like Sam Seasonals, Golden Wheat relied primarily on TV
● Unlike Sam Adams, however, Golden Wheat also invested significantly in print
