Did you know Walmart not only is the nation’s largest company, but also its largest seller of beer?
And now it’s gonna focus more on craft beer. Ad Age reports Walmart is adding more shelf space to accommodate an expanded selection of craft beers:
While craft beer still only commands about 5% of the beer market, these smaller, mostly regional brands are the only bright spot in beer, growing at a 14% clip compared with a 2%Â decline in the overall beer category.
Local store managers reportedly will have a big say in which new beers will be stocked, which is good news for local brewers.
