The generation that follows the Millennial cohort, Gen Z (defined by Pew Research as born between 1997 and 2012) includes young adults now of legal drinking age. Unlike previous generations, these younger drinkers are more likely to embrace moderation. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span><span><span><span><span><span>For Gen Z, keggers and blackout drinking are out. Low- or no-alcohol beverages are in. The reasons are unique to this group. Gen Z is acutely aware of how food and drink affect health and they are concerned about alcohol\u2019s effect on mood. They also have been influenced by experiencing the impact of social media. According to some observers, a generation that has never known life without a smartphone may not want drunken photos or videos shared on TikTok or Instagram.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span><span><span><span><span><span>With these concerns in mind, Gen Z reportedly drinks about 20% less per capita than Millennials, who in turn drink less than Baby Boomers and Gen X, according to a 2018 report from Berenberg Research. Sober-curious and \u201cdry January\u201d are common trends among these younger drinkers. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span><span><span><span><span><span>Gen Z is said to engage in \u201cmindful\u201d drinking. In a broader sense, they are mindful consumers who want to make their own decisions about brands. They desire fewer marketing taglines, but more ingredients information listed on food and beverage packaging, for example. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span><span><span><span><span><span>When it comes to food and drink, they demand quality ingredients associated with good health such as non-GMO, gluten-free or \u201cplant-forward\u201d attributes. And they\u2019re willing to pay a premium for them. Niche or luxury brands have a special appeal, which may benefit craft spirits brands.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span><span><span><span><span><span>They want to know a brand\u2019s story and the company\u2019s values. What does it stand for? What\u2019s the \u201cwhy\u201d behind the business? <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span><span><span><span><span><span>\u201c\u2026I think there\u2019s a real authenticity to the Gen Z generation in saying they want to breathe new life into what corporate responsibility looks like,\u201d said McKinsey partner Bo Finneman. He was part of an August 2020 McKinsey podcast discussing how Gen Z is shaping the future of shopping.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span><span><span><span><span><span>Discerning and focused, these younger drinkers enjoy a good cocktail. As a group that often favors staying in to explore \u201cmixology\u201d at home, they are open to videos with cocktail recipes and instructions, an opportunity for craft brands to connect.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span><span><span><span><span><span>Gen Z also is open to unique experiences. That may include sampling carefully crafted cocktails in classic settings.
