An offie would be five times better off filling its shelves with alcohol-free beer than imported craft beer. We have a hill to climb, and the problem is not, primarily, with the retailers.

Not quite as craft beer is not really represented in the on-trade so I would be interested in knowing the percentage of the off-trade held by craft beer.

Although 0.2% of the total market is shockingly low. Are you sure beers like Erdinger are classified as speciality ?
