Beer predictions for 2007
No, I’m not making any 2007 predictions myself, I’m pointing at others who are doing it for me.
Jay on the Brookston Beer Bulletin has five predictions, more generally on the business side of the beer industry. I think they’re pretty sure bets, especially his gluten free beer prediction ("Gluten-Free beer made for the growing number of people with Celiac disease will surprise most predictions and become a bigger niche than expected.")—which I kind of touched on in my 2006 trends post.
Stan on Appellation Beer weighs in with a set of nine goofy 2007 predictions. Nothing serious here, but it’s all fun.
The Brew Lounge has their predictions, mixing it up a bit between serious and silly predictions. I like their first one in particular, that of a growing trend of "smaller" beers (as opposed to the recent trend of "big" imperial/double styles), and number five, more growth in the unusual/outside-of-mainstream beer trend.
Okay, after reading these over, maybe I will make some 2007 predictions of my own. I’ll think about it.
