Where to Buy
That Great Hamm's Beer?
Here at the Hamm's Club we receive
inquiries
on where to get
Hamm's Beer and if it is still being sold.
Miller
Brewing brews Hamm's and distributes in certain States. We have no way to
tell you a place to buy Hamm's where you live. It may be available in
your State but not your area because the distributor has chosen not to
sell it. It can be a hit or miss thing and the first place to try is your
local Miller Distributor. You'll have to take it from there.
Straight from the Hamm's Headlines:
Hamm’s – Miller Brewing
Update
MILWAUKEE WI – There’s no shortage of Hamm’s
folks who have concerns about their favorite brand. The concerns are
usually where can I get it and why doesn’t the parent company Miller
Brewing do more to promote Hamm’s.
The spokesman for Hamm’s at Miller, Dan Genatempo gave an update to the
Hamm’s Club. According to Dan, Miller is continuing to consolidate Hamm’s
to fewer states. Sales of Hamm’s are down 20% on average. Hamm’s is
distributed in WA, OR, ID, MT, WY, CO, NM, AZ, UT, IL, MI, IN, OH, KY, ND,
SD, NE, KS, OK, MO, IA, MN, WI and CA. As sales dwindle in some states
Miller according to Dan, will cut that State off. Surprisingly even the
States of Oregon and Washington are seeing declining sales, according to
Dan.
Miller sells 30-40 different brews and according to Mr. Genatempo it
wants to reduce that number. They hope as the brands are phased out the
buyers will stick with other Miller products. From Miller’s perspective it
is more efficient to focus its dollars on fewer brands.
Miller did not invest in Hamm’s in 2003 and according to Mr. Genatempo
“you won’t see investment behind it in 2004.” On the other hand Dan stated
“we’re very attached to the brand,” referring to Hamm’s, and that “it’s
great to have that brand loyalty but there needs to be more of it.” The
good news is Hamm’s sales are up in three states, California, Wisconsin
and Minnesota. Chances are these states, for the time being, are not in
the consolidation plans.
