Super Bowl LVIII is just around the corner, and the San Francisco 49ers will face the Kansas City Chiefs at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas on Sunday, February 11th.
If your bar or restaurant is showing the game, you're probably expecting an influx of traffic on Sunday. In fact, BrewLogix, a technology solutions company, found that when comparing Super Bowl Sundays for the past six years against all other Sundays in the calendar during the same period, Super Bowl Sunday consistently sparked a notable increase in draft beverage sales in craft-centered environments. Craft-on-draft-centric taprooms, bars, and restaurants have historically seen a 7%-10% increase in draft beverage consumption on Super Bowl Sunday.
BrewLogix also found that if your taproom, bar, or restaurant is in the Kansas City or San Francisco markets, you can expect an increase in draft beverage consumption of 25+% as historical data shows team cities experience a significant bump in draft beverage sales on Super Bowl Sunday (with 23% increase being the historical average).
To get you ready for a game-winning Sunday, we've collected some Super Bowl recipes below.
