Where does craft beer stand near the end of 2022? Brewers Association chief economist Bart Watson shares the most up-to-date information on craft beer’s performance this year and share his expectations for the segment in 2023.

Watson, one of the most well-respected minds in the beer industry, returned to the Brewbound Live stage for the first time since 2016. In his talk, “It’s the Industry, Stupid,” a play off the phrase “it’s the economy, stupid,” coined by political strategist Jame Carville, Watson will share why the changes in the brewing industry matter more to the average brewer than the economy at this time.
