Beer-Serving Grocery Markets

The Gateway Market Offers Consumers the Option to Sip Beer and Shop

— November 3, 2015 — Lifestyle
The Gateway Market is now providing consumers with a beer sipping experience while they shop. The grocery store's new beer program offers consumers the opportunity to sip a locally made pint while they conduct their usual shopping tasks.

Consumers can choose their own beer and decide whether they want a pint glass, a 32 ounce glass or a two liter mug filled their favorite local beer. This unique program promotes local consumption, which directly benefits the community while allowing consumers to explore their own preferences and try new brews.

While the beer is currently on tap, the wine and beer director of the Gateway Market plans to swap out beer for wine when the consumers need a change of pace. Currently on tap at this grocery store are brews like Nevada 2014 Narwhal Imperial Stout, Central Waters Bourbon barrel-aged Scotch Ale, Sam Adams Kosmic Mother Funk Sour and Madhouse Borlauger Wit Bier.
Trend Themes
1. Beer-sipping Experience - Creating grocery market spaces that offer consumers the chance to drink beer while they shop opens up opportunities for immersive shopping experiences and increased customer satisfaction.
2. Promotion of Local Consumption - Emphasizing locally made beer and offering a variety of options encourages support for local breweries, fostering a sense of community and strengthening the local economy.
3. Rotation of Beverage Selection - Swapping out beer for wine periodically provides customers with diverse choices, catering to different preferences and encouraging repeat visits to the grocery market.
Industry Implications
1. Grocery Retail - Integrating beer-sipping experiences within grocery markets presents an opportunity for grocery retailers to differentiate themselves and engage customers in a unique way.
2. Local Breweries - Collaborating with beer-serving grocery markets allows local breweries to reach a wider consumer base and showcase their products, potentially increasing sales and brand visibility.
3. Alcohol Distribution - Partnering with beer-serving grocery markets provides opportunities for alcohol distributors to expand their reach and establish partnerships with various retail outlets.
