The continued closure of hospitality venues domestically and in key international markets resulted in another challenging year for Irish brewers in 2021 with alcohol consumption down, according to a new report.

The annual Irish Beer Market Report from Drinks Ireland|Beer shows that the pandemic resulted in a 46% fall in production between 2020 and 2021, with sales down by 1.3% and per capita consumption down by 2.3%.

Overall alcohol consumption continues to decline dramatically in Ireland.

Revenue data shows that alcohol consumption fell by 4.7% between 2020 and 2021, and declined by 9.6% between 2019 and 2021.

On a longer-term basis, alcohol consumption is at its lowest level in 20 years, down by about 30% since the peak of 2001.

The value of beer exports fell by 3% last year but were still significant at €246m. The most popular destination for Irish beer was Great Britain, with the United States in second place.

According to the report, pre-Covid around 30% of beer consumed in Ireland was stout. This fell to 25.3% in 2020 and recovered to 32.2% last year.

Lager, which was more popular during Covid as it was consumed at home, saw its market share fall last year by eight points while ale’s market share improved by one point.

Non-alcoholic beer market share rose from 1.1% in 2020 to 1.5% in 2021. For context, non-alcoholic beer’s market share was 0.4% in 2017.

The way we were. Metro Society style icons – mother and daughter: Dolores and Gloria Guinness wearing Balenciaga for French Vogue in 1957. From the 1950’s through to the end of the 1970’s they graced the society pages of fashion magazines. Stuff of legend, these two ladies led an existence that combined the high life, the best of the best, all underpinned with elegance and classic grace, and often laced with tragedy. Attending all the smart parties, being seen in all the right places, following the seasons around the globe, this mother, daughter act were repeatedly honored on the best dressed lists and considered iconic in the fashion world. Close to mirror images of one another they were each other’s inspiration to set the standard. Gloria leading by example, Dolores following up with a more moedern twist.
