00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:02,560
Speaker 1: Dry, January may not be as big of a boogeyman

2
00:00:02,640 --> 00:00:05,240
Speaker 1: anymore for liquor stores, both large and small.

3
00:00:05,400 --> 00:00:09,280
Speaker 2: For non alcoholic options, we sell about the same amount

4
00:00:09,400 --> 00:00:12,600
Speaker 2: revenue wise in January as we do in December, which

5
00:00:12,640 --> 00:00:13,560
Speaker 2: is the busiest month.

00:00:19,400 --> 00:00:22,040
Speaker 1: store sales regardless, but they do get a small bump

00:00:22,079 --> 00:00:25,120
Speaker 1: as more people turn to things like non alcoholic beer, wine,

10
00:00:25,120 --> 00:00:28,040
Speaker 1: and even cocktails. Atwood says sales and quality have been

11
00:00:28,080 --> 00:00:30,880
Speaker 1: growing exponentially, but could there be too many brewers in

12
00:00:30,920 --> 00:00:31,440
Speaker 1: the brewery.

00:00:31,520 --> 00:00:34,479
Speaker 2: The amount of new brands that are coming through our

14
00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:37,360
Speaker 2: door every week is kind of staggering, So I think

15
00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:39,520
Speaker 2: that's going to level off at some point and kind

00:00:39,520 --> 00:00:41,159
