Fiscal year total stagnant again,but fourth quarter shows improvement

By Paul TashIs the glass half empty, or half full? Though video gaming machine (VGM)

revenues for the just-concluded fiscal yearreveals little growth over the last fouryears, the fourth quarter of the year talliedthe highest amount of any quarter in nineyears.

Video gaming machine (VGM) rev-enues for FY18, which ended June 30,totaled about $60.1 million, a tiny increaseof less than one percent over the FY17 totalof $59.8 million, according to preliminaryfigures recently released by the state’sGambling Control Division. Fiscal Year 15totaled about $59.7 million, 2016 about$60.4 million, and last year about $59.8million. Year-over-year revenues couldn'tbe much more stagnant, as the 10-yearcomparison chart at right shows.

However, preliminary figures show thefourth quarter of FY18 totaling about$15.5 million, the highest of any quarter

A revenue run?since third quarter 2009, which totaled$15.6 million (see Fiscal Year compar-ison table). Revenues for fourthquarter of FY18 also increasedabout 2 percent over the fourthquarter of FY17 that totaled$15.2 million.

With such a small sam-ple size, it's tough to pre-dict whether the gamingindustry is finally begin-ning to pull out of its four-yearlull, but industry representa-tives are hopeful.

"The industry is cautiouslyoptimistic that new growth ison the horizon," said JohnIverson, the Montana TavernAssociation’s governmentaffairs director and lobbyist.

tournament, basketball tourna-ment, or many other types ofgames or contests with two ormore entrants, a great way toenjoy summer is to participatein a Calcutta auction pool. Togamble in a Calcutta is to “buy”competitors who are “sold” tothe highest bidder, and winnersof the pool of money are deter-mined by the result of theevent.

Calcutta auctions are a legalgambling activity that requires apermit and an application fee of$25. No gambling operatorlicense is needed, and any indi-vidual, group, association, ororganization can apply. There isno minimum or maximum bid orpayout, but all competitors mustbe sold.

Becky SchlauchABCD Administrator

As many of you are aware,Senate Bill 5 from the 2017Legislative Special Sessionrequires the Department ofRevenue (DOR) to conduct acompetitive bidding process forcertain available alcoholic bever-age licenses. The first competi-tive bidding process, which wasset to close in early March 2018,was cancelled at the recommen-dation of the Economic AffairsInterim Committee until adminis-trative rules could be adopted.

On April 9, the DOR conduct-ed a public hearing on the pro-posed rules and accepted writtencomments until April 23. Sincethen, the department has beenactively working on draftingresponses and making additionalamendments to the rules basedon the comments received.

The DOR is anticipating thatby mid-August, the rules will beadopted, and the departmentcan move forward with its firstcompetitive bidding. The depart-

ment is currentlyevaluating whichavailable licens-es will be includ-ed in that initialbid opening.

In the mean-time, the depart-ment has updat-ed its website toallow individualsto sign up toreceive electronic

notifications when the new com-petitive bidding opens. To do so,visit https://mtrevenue.gov/liquor-tobacco/liquor-licenses/liquor-license-competitive-bidding-process/ and key in your firstname, last name and emailaddress and click the sign upbutton.

As a reminder, when a com-petitive bidding is open, bidsmust be submitted electronicallyto the Department of Revenue.The electronic form (RetailAlcoholic Beverage CompetitiveBid Form) can be found athttps://app.mt.gov/myrevenue/.

To submit a bid, the biddermust complete and submit theelectronic bid form, pay a$100 processing fee plus serv-ice charges, and attach anirrevocable letter of credit froma financial institution for atleast the bid amount.

Please call (406) 444-6900if you have any questionsrelated to the competitive bid-ding process for alcoholic bev-erage licenses.

1) The what and when ofthe event. (See the descriptionabove, “Bull Riding at Any TownRodeo, etc.”)

2) Prize values, which arethe same as payouts, must be50 percent of the pool or more.(These could read, “1st place –40 percent, 2nd place – 30 per-cent, and so on.”)

3) Administrative costs, orany expenses (such as“Auctioneer’s pay - $50”).Administrative costs do notinclude profits for the sponsor,as profits are not allowed.

4) Intended use of the pro-ceeds ¬– the amount left overafter the administrative costsand payouts are allotted (forexample, “10 percent of totalpool will be given to the 4HClub”).

After the required informa-tion listed above has beencompiled into Form 26 and

Montana Tavern Times – 12 August 2018

AB-InBev marks 10 years since shocking moveLiquor Biz

By Paul F. VangThis past month marked the

10th anniversary of Anheuser-Busch, America’s biggest beercompany, getting taken over by aBelgian beer company, InBev, toform Anheuser-Busch InBev, theworld’s biggest brewing company.

In a retrospective, stltoday.com,the online service of the St. LouisPost-Dispatch noted the day, July10, 2008, when the news rockedthe brewing industry, not to men-tion the city of St. Louis.

In the report, Tom Pirko, of theCalifornia consulting firm,Bevmark, recalls that the oldAnheuser-Busch company was ripefor a takeover. He described the A-B management of the time as“dinosaurs waiting for the asteroidsto hit and wipe them out.”

In the immediate aftermath ofthe takeover, jobs were lost andkey functions moved out of St.Louis. The city of St. Louis took ahuge blow to civic pride, losingAnheuser-Busch to a Belgian com-pany.

AB InBev, as a global brewer,has done well for its investors,with per–share profits up 37 per-cent, even with declining sales ofBudweiser and Bud Light in NorthAmerica, AB InBev’s largest mar-ket.

If that seems strange, to beincreasing profits in spite ofdeclining sales of their leadingbrands, Eric Shepard, editor ofBeer Marketer’s Insights, com-mented in the article that it wasn’ta sustainable business model.

“You can’t lose barrels foreverand make more money. That mathdoesn’t continue to work.”

The corporate formula thatdoes seem to work is to make bigacquisitions every few years, suchas Mexico’s Grupo Modelo in2013, and London-basedSABMiller in 2016. In addition,

the company has bought up a num-ber of U.S. craft beer companies,such as Chicago’s Goose Island.

Analysts speculate that ABInBev’s next big buy will be out-side beer, perhaps a big soft drinkscompany such as Coca-Cola,though company executives insistthat their focus is beer.

Beer operations that mightmake sense might be beer busi-nesses operated by French winecompany Castel, or Diageo’sGuinness.

In any event, the report con-cludes that if North American salescontinue to slip, AB InBev willfind “something, somewhere” tobuy.

“They didn’t build the world’slargest brewer by being satisfiedwith the status quo.”

Beer sales falling flatThis report isn’t exactly related

to the previous segment on ABInBev, but it’s along a similartheme.

As reported by Beer BusinessDaily, after a relatively strong win-ter and spring, beer sales, as meas-ured by volume, started declining,as tracked by Nielsen. We usuallythink people drink more beer insummer, but that doesn’t seem tobe happening.

First off, premium light beersare mostly in decline. The segmentas a whole was down 4.3 percent,

with Coors Light down 6. 7 per-cent, and Bud Light down 4.8 per-cent. Miller Lite held to a growthcurve, but at a bare 0.5 percent.

Import beers were down over-all, though Constellation Brands’Corona and Modelo were up 8.6percent and 10.4 percent. Heinekenand Dos Equis were both down inthe 5 percent range.

Even the craft segment wasdown 3.2 percent in volume andoff a bit in market share. Amongthe top craft brands, Sierra Nevadawas down 41 percent, and SamAdams, Leinenkugel, NewBelgium, and Shock Top brandswere down double digits.

There’s a related story, thisfrom foodandwine.com, with theheadline, “People Aren’t superExcited About Beer Right Now.”

This report notes that the wholebeer category seems to have stalledout in both the suds produced byBig Beer and the craft segment,which saw increased retail sales ofjust 1.7 percent. On the other hand,there are a lot of players in thecraft segment and some brewershave vigorous growth in sales,even while some of the biggestcraft brewers were down.

These trends are reinforced bychanges in the alcohol market. In2002, beer accounted for 54 per-cent of alcohol sales and winemade up 37 percent. Last near,beer had dropped to 46 percent,while spirits had modest growth tofill the gap.

Craft distilling jumpsThe craft distilling segment of

the beverage business is growingdramatically. As reported by bever-agedaily.com, there were 1,315craft distilleries in 2016, and thosenumbers grew to 1,589 in 2017, ascomplied by the American CraftSpirits Association.

The American Craft Spirits

Association defines a craft distilleras one that has not removed frombond more than 750,000 proof gal-lons, markets itself as craft, is notopenly controlled by a large suppli-er, and has not been in violation ofthe ACSA Code of Ethics.

California has the largest num-ber of craft distilleries, with a totalof 148, or 9.3 percent of the nation’stotal. California is followed by NewYork, Washington, Texas andColorado.

Craft spirit sales tend to be localand regional. On average, aroundhalf of craft spirits are sold in theproducer’s home state, and aroundone-fifth of all craft sales are sold atthe production facility, itself.

I could say, “I told you so,” butMontana Tavern Times’ former edi-tor/publisher, Cole Boehler, unfortu-nately isn’t around to hear it.Sometime around 15 years ago,after a trip to California and visitinga couple craft tasting rooms, Ipitched a story idea to Cole aboutcraft distilling as the next big thingin the beverage business. Colerejected it, saying craft distillingwouldn’t be a story until we haddistillers in Montana.

Of course, craft distilling cameto Montana, and our Big Sky dis-tillers are putting out a lot of goodstuff.

Constellation gets craftyConstellation Brands strength-

ened its holdings in the craft beersegment with the acquisition ofFour Corners Brewing of Dallas,Texas, reported brewbound.com.

Constellation previouslyacquired Ballast Point Brewing ofSan Diego and Funky BuddhaBrewery of Florida.

Four Corners Brewing started in2012, and it produces six differentofferings, year around, and produc-tion has increased five-fold since2014.
