Heritage Brewing Company, a brewpub in Manassas, Va., was once known for constantly rotating guest taps that served a different beer nearly every week. But last year, the offerings stayed the same month after month.
As of last November, sales of beer in stores had fallen 3.1 percent by volume from a year earlier, according to the market research firm NIQ. At bars and restaurants, sales declined nearly 4.7 percent. (For craft beer alone, the drop was even sharper: 5.3 percent in store sales and 6.7 percent in bars and restaurants.)
