Market Watch Snapshot September

The hope of an Indian Summer sadly never came to fruition and, as a result, the 4 weeks to end September brought disappointing results for the UK on trade. September saw draught beer volume continue to decline by 3.9%. This was still a 1.6% improvement on the previous month where draught beer volumes declined 5.5%. YTD volume continued the downward trajectory with a decline of 2%, a further 0.2% drop on August.
