Bud Light bottles
Let's just say the glass isn't looking half-full for the beer industry right now.
  • US beer shipments are expected to hit a quarter-century low this year, the WSJ reports.
  • Many Americans are turning to other alcoholic drinks; some younger adults forgo alcohol entirely.
  • There was also a call to boycott Bud Light earlier this year over its deal with a trans influencer.

The beer industry looks like it's ale-ing right now, recent data suggests.
