Craft Beer: The fastest-growing industry in America

In 2015, America’s rocketing interest in craft beer maintained a rapid rate of growth. Sales increased 22% over 2014, which was the first year in which the craft beer segment achieved double-digit market share of the enormous US beer industry. 2015 marks the 18th consecutive year in which craft beer experienced double digit growth.

Demand for craft beer still vastly exceeds consumption because, according to an October, 2015, report from research firm Mintel, “only 10% of beer drinkers consider craft beer easy to find.” The Growler USA microbrew pub craft beer franchise model changes that by leading the nation in craft beer offerings.

In Growler USA microbrew pubs across America, certified Brew Specialists provide personalized journeys through the best local and regional handmade beverages. Guests can easily hear each other talk while enjoying delicious select cuisine in an upscale, welcoming neighborhood atmosphere. Growler USA franchisees support local causes and host fun events with local microbreweries.

Simple Operations

The Growler USA model is perfect for semi-absentee ownership, and for those with little or no experience in restaurants or hospitality. Those with bar or restaurant experience will marvel at the ease of operations.

We’ve kept entry costs comparatively low, product quality consistent and operations easy. You’ll get leading-edge technology and automated operations and marketing processes. You’ll leave brewing to the brewers and enjoy an award-winning training program. You’ll get real-time cost control data and support from the finest legal, real estate and public relations firms in franchising.

Growler USA is a neighborhood gathering place, with appeals beyond craft beer. Draught wine, hard ciders and other trending beverages including non-alcoholic kombucha teas and hard and soft root beers are also on among our True to the Brew™ favorites.

Good Food

Your guests will come for the beer and bring their friends for the food. Growler USA’s recipes are designed by our corporate Executive Chef to perfectly complement the beverage experience while being easy to consistently reproduce. High-quality, delicious selections range from five-star entrées like Duck Confit Salad and Blackened Mahi Tacos to staples like Chicken Wings and Beer Brat Sliders.

Growler USA microbrew pubs ensure variety with seasonal selections. The franchise encourages each location to customize its menu to appeal to local tastes by offering selections from a larger cookbook and working with pub owners and staff to maximize selections while minimizing food costs.

Technology and training minimize Growler USA’s operations costs and small kitchen footprint.
