2009 Year-End Review of the Beer Category and Craft Segment

Speaker:

Dan Wandel – Senior Vice President – Information Resources, Inc.
 
Our February Power Hour will feature Dan Wandel of Information Resources, Inc. who will give us an overview of 2009 beer category sales with a focus on IRI's Micro/Craft segment. 
 
Mid-year 2009 numbers showed continued growth of the segment, but how did the year end?  What lessons can be gleaned from the previous 12 months and what might we expect for 2010?  Don't miss your chance to get the answers to these questions and the opportunity to ask your own!
