DESTIHL Brewery Grows Volume by 25% in 2020

February 9, 2021 by Dustin Scoggins

DESTIHL BrewingNormal, IL – February 5, 2021 – DESTIHL Brewery grew its production volume by an impressive 25% in 2020, despite the challenges presented by the Covid-19 pandemic.

While draft beer sales plummeted 47% in 2020 due to government restrictions and closures of on-premise retailer accounts beginning in mid-March, this reduction in draft was more than offset by 30% growth in DESTIHL’s packaged (canned) beer sales, which represented 87% of its product mix last year. Consistent with those trends, while there was a 42% decline in on-premise sales in 2020, off-premise sales grew by 37% in 2020 compared to 2019 and accelerated to 56% growth in Q3-Q4 2020 versus the Q3-Q4 2019.

DESTIHL’s growth was led by a 55% increase in production of its industry-changing, year-round offerings in its WiLD Sour Series, which was one of the first sour beer series introduced in cans back in 2014. Within this series, its original flagship, Here Gose Nothin’®, grew in volume by 29%, Synchopathic® Dry-Hopped Sour Ale grew by 28%, Lynnbrook® (a Raspberry Berliner-style Weisse) grew by a lesser 18% given greater seasonality impacts, and its Flanders Red grew by a whopping 62%. However, it was DESTIHL’s Wild Pack™, a variety 12-pack of Here Gose Nothin’, Synchopathic, Flanders Red and a ‘Wild Card’ mystery fruited seasonal, which led the pack with an incredible volume increase of 143% in 2020 versus 2019. Growth continues to gain momentum for the Wild Pack as well, with volume increasing by 157% in Q3 & Q4 of 2020 versus the prior year.

Also accounting for much of DESTIHL’s growth in 2020 was its rapidly growing DeadHead® IPA Series, which grew by 31% compared to 2019. This series consists mostly of rotating Hazy IPA’s, including Touch of Haze®, Drivin’ that Haze®, Haze of the Dead® and Extended Jam®, with more brands to come. In addition to great package design, the strong growth of this brand is due to the awesome liquid, quality and consistency of these beers and that they have a stable, authentic haze and longer shelf-life, enabling them to be distributed throughout DESTIHL’s 37-state footprint and even internationally to Sweden. Indeed, its Extended Jam was the #1 trending beer globally for a time in 2020 on Untappd®. Building on the success of this series, the brewery recently announced the release this month of its new year-round SoundBoard® Lo-Cal Hazy IPA, a remarkably refreshing craft beer having all the aroma and flavor that one wants in an IPA, but with only 4% ABV, 5g of carbs and 99 calories per 12oz serving, without sacrificing mouthfeel.
