On-premise and off-premise sales
On-premise retail dollar sales for beer in the United States amounted to roughly 45.6 billion U.S. dollars in 2022. U.S. off-premise retail sales have gained a lot of traction over the past decade, reaching over 69 million U.S. dollars that same year. On-premise locations, such as restaurants and bars, sell alcohol that is meant to be consumed on-site, while alcohol bought in off-premise establishments, such as grocery and liquor stores, is intended to be consumed elsewhere.
