Craft breweries are on the rise, and their popularity continues to soar worldwide with the demand for high-quality beer. In the bustling city of Tokyo, nestled in the heart of Tachikawa, there’s a craft brewery that is setting the standard among the many beer establishments in the area.

Canned cocktails have become the buzz in the beverage industry. With consumers looking for more diversity in their beverage offerings, ready to drink (RTD) cocktails are taking the scene by storm. Hard seltzers paved the way, but pre-mixed canned cocktails are now one of the fastest growing beverage trends in America. We want to share how this beverage category can benefit both bartenders and bar operators.

The ready to drink category isn’t new

Ready to drink cocktails have been on the market for decades, but not a lot of consumers knew about them. It took the COVID-19 pandemic to help them skyrocket to fame. DISCUS President and CEO Chris Swonger, stated,

As the post pandemic world continues to evolve, dining and entertaining standards are evolving with consumer behavior. Consumer habits have changed, and for operators to remain competitive there are three things that most customers are looking for: safety, value, and experience. With the continued growth in popularity of social media (TikTok, Instagram, etc.) and the age of influencers, consumers now expect a high quality, unique experience when dining out, and have become more ambitious with their palette than ever before. If you are a bar owner, bartender, or a self-employed bar-pro, at some point in your career you will ask yourself a question: How to choose the best mobile bar?

What accounted for the staffing crisis?

892,000 workers have chosen to leave the industry amidst the pandemic. At first, it was thought to be due to industry instability, but studies have shown that it goes well beyond that. The Washington Post stated: “The industry has 1.7 million fewer jobs filled than before the pandemic, despite posting almost a million job openings in March, along with hotels, and raising pay 3.6 percent, an average of 58 cents an hour, in the first three months of 2021.” This fact shows that workers are choosing to change industries despite plenty of job openings. Let’s break down the leading causes of workers leaving the industry.

Family-owned businesses are the cornerstone of the U.S. economy. In fact, according to the U.S. Census Bureau, about 90% of U.S. businesses are family-owned. Perlick knows a little bit about being a family business. Since 1917, Perlick has been family-owned and headquartered in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. In 1917, Robert K. Perlick, a young German immigrant, started the R. Perlick Brass Works. Over the next five generations the Perlick family, along with many dedicated associates, has grown the business into a global manufacturing leader in commercial bar and beverage systems, premium residential refrigeration and brewery fittings.

Perlick is proud to work on any project, from corner bar to Madison Square Garden! No project is too small for us, but we will admit, there is a certain excitement that comes with a large venue project.

The planning that goes on behind the scenes of a large venue bar design is a true art form, and it takes many talented and creative people to design the high-end bars and foodservice stations we have come to expect at sports arenas, concert venues, amusement parks, and other high-volume facilities.
