Looks like some “cheers!” are in order! According to the Panjiva research team, stout shipments are up once again this year, possibly hinting at a particularly festive March 17th. January and February shipments of the brew are at a record 609 – an increase of over 23% over last year’s 494 shipments and a whopping 185% increase over the 214 shipments in 2010. Though the reasons behind the rising shipments could be attributed to several factors, one thing is for sure: you won’t be going thirsty this St. Patrick’s Day.
