CRAFT BEER GUIDE | TRENDS

Cans Are Making a Comeback Cans are back, rebuffing a longstanding bias against them in favor of bottles.

“Consumers have become educated — they’ve learned that cans are a better package for beer that bottles,” Chad Melis, marketing director at Oskar Blues, told Market Watch. “Back in 2002, we couldn’t get anyone to take canned craft beer seriously.

But we’ve always believed in the can’s merits, and we’ve worked at educating retailers and consumers as to why it’s a better vessel than glass.”

ON THE WAY UP

Cans are cheaper for the brewery, and they can pass that savings along to the consumer. Also, new types of tall, slender cans better mimic the experience of drinking beer from a glass. Cans are also convenient for consumers and retailers, who can fit more of them on shelves and in coolers. They’re also a more effective barrier to light, keeping the beer fresher, longer.

Bart Watson, economist for the Brewers Association, says that in 2017, cans added 6.2 million incremental case equivalents. This growth came largely from more small breweries opening up.

HOW TO STORE CANNED BEER

Beer should be kept cold

and dark and in a constant temperature environment.

Try around 50 to 55 degrees.

Higher temperatures will

shorten the lifespan of the beer, lower can make it cloudy. Store beers upright.

IPA and hop-centric beers

age quickly, so don’t keep them too long.

Higher ABV beers, smoked beers and sour beers, howev-

er, can be kept longer. If you’re not going to cellar your beer, drink it within three months of the bottling date.

CRAFT BEER GUIDE | WHERE TO ENJOY A DRINK

Visiting a Taproom Craft breweries are increasingly focusing on not just turning out great product but also on becoming a true neighborhood gathering place.

Some brewery taprooms also feature one-off special brews that you can only get in the taproom.

CUTTING OUT THE MIDDLEMAN

Serving customers in the taproom cuts out paying a distributor, meaning more profits for the brewery. However, it can also spoil retail sales if customers are getting all their product on the premises. It’s a delicate balance.

FINDING A TAPROOM

There are more than 7,000 craft breweries operating in the U.S., and many of them have taprooms. Find the nearest one to you by using the interactive map at CraftBeer.com. You can also search along road trips or at travel destinations to find new regional brews you may not have heard of. Also ask around at your local liquor store for new brews and breweries you can check out.

TOP TAPROOMS

CraftBeer.com holds a survey of beer drinkers and ranks the top beer bars in each state.

Several taprooms made the 2019 list. If you’re anywhere near these top places, check them out and see if you agree.

Y

ou eat broccoli, spinach and tomatoes at home, so why wouldn’t you want to enjoy these healthy and tasty flavors at restaurants, too?

According to The Vegetarian Times, over 7 million Americans are vegetarians, while an additional 22 million follow a “vegetarian-included diet.” Both men and women follow the veggie lifestyle, with women accounting for about 60 percent of vegetarians.

Even for non-vegetarians, the desire to eat better is a driving force in the marketplace.

HEALTHIER GOALS

A 2014 survey of over 1,000 Americans by the International Food Information Council Foundation found 71 percent of consumers value healthfulness, compared to 61 percent, just two years ago. That 10 percent increase shows attitudes about clean eating are improving. For example, 83 percent of those surveyed say they’ve tried to eat more fruits and vegetables in the past year. Over half of the respondents say they use nutrition information when dining out, such as reviewing food calorie counts.

VEGGIES ON THE MENU

No longer does eating out at a restaurant mean you have to sacrifice your good habits or choose from a very limited

menu of good-for-you options.

As more consumers want to eat healthier, restaurants are meeting the demand. One chain has everything from Portobello burgers to barbecue “veggie steak” sandwiches.

Diners are choosing healthier entrees and sides too, such as grilled instead of friend

chicken; and a side salad or sliced fruit in lieu of starchy French fries. Spinach and kale salads are on the menu, too, at many restaurants.

Breakfast can now mean an egg white omelet, turkey bacon and whole wheat bread, compared to the traditional two-egg omelet, with bacon and pancakes.

Even deli sandwiches, which once were about meaty options like steak and cheese or meatball, are changing.

More diners want veggie subs, or at least sandwiches with lean meats, topped with veggies such as spinach, onions, olives and tomatoes.

Dining out options now include a variety of better-for-

you ingredients, too, like whole-wheat pasta and flatbreads, compared to their carbohydrate-loaded versions.

While there’s room for even more healthful dining changes, these nutritious choices are steps in the right direction, helping diners enjoy a satisfying meal that supports a healthy lifestyle.

DINING GUIDE | FAMILIES

DINING GUIDE | FAMILIES

Family-Friendly Dining

G

oing out for dinner can be a chore for families, especially those with young children.

Luckily restaurants are reaching out to them, welcoming parents and kids.

“As more families are dining out more and spending more, restaurants need to cater to their unique dining criteria in order to satisfy their needs, which will nurture a loyal customer base,” says Sharon Sprague, co-founder of KidNosh, a restaurant review site for parents looking to dine out with kids. The site’s restaurant reviews, which are written by parents for parents, factor in kid-friendly amenities, as well as food quality and service.

A FAMILY AFFAIR

A Restaurant.com survey of 988 adults reports 59 percent of parents dine out with their children at least once a week, with 70 percent of parents saying restaurant dining is a great way to spend time with family. The survey also found 40 percent of families go out for American food, followed by 25 percent for Italian and 21 percent for Mexican.

“Not only are they spending more than couples without kids, but parents are likely to share good dining experiences with other parents on social media and word-of-

mouth,” says Sprague, who thinks the kid-friendly commitment is likely permanent.

FAMILY CHOICES

So how are restaurants wooing families? They’re serving healthy food choices like lean meats, fruits and vegetables; and impressing kids with tech tools like video games and old-fashioned fun including crayons and paper, as well as books. There are also kids-eatfree days as well as kid-friendly activities like balloon artists, face painting and make-yourown pizzas or sundaes.

Another sign restaurants are family friendly? “They have family bathrooms or changing tables in both women’s and men’s room,” says Sprague.

Restaurants want repeat business from families with kids who eat at off-peak times like pre-dinner rush or on offpeak days like Monday or Tuesday. Parents seem to be pleased with the family friendly offerings, too. The Restaurant. com survey found 57 percent of parents like dining out as a way to teach kids table manners; 54 percent say it teaches kids about different cultures and 66 percent use the opportunity get kids to try new foods. © FOTOLIA
