Beer seems to fade in and out of popularity.
The beverage clearly has a core following of people who love their big-name brands and a dedicated crew of folks who love craft beer. But, every few years beer seems to have its moment.
That leads to an explosion of new brands on the market and people opening brewpubs, beer stores, and other beer-related businesses out of love, not always because they have a sound business plan.

Currently, the beer industry has suffered. Overall sales are down which many blame on younger drinkers opting for a more sober lifestyle. In reality, that's a good media story, but it's actually more a shift from beer to other libations.
