As we state in our earnings release, some of the information we discuss and that may come up on this call reflects the company's or management's expectations or predictions of the future. In the H1, the overall beer market improved modestly, although demand was uneven throughout the period. Trends improved in June as consumer demand benefited from increased drinking occasions around the World Cup and America's 250th anniversary celebrations. We estimate the combined total beer and beyond beer market was down 2% in volume in the H1, compared to a decline of 4% for the full year of 2025.
We anticipate industry volume headwinds for the remainder of 2026 as consumers remain under pressure from the cumulative effects of inflation and a significant increase in gas prices. In the second quarter, we delivered triple-digit depletion growth in Sun Cruiser, continued growth in Angry Orchard, and strong on-premise results across the portfolio as major events helped drive incremental drinking occasions. For the full year, we expect shipments and depletion trends to be broadly aligned. The business is generating strong cash flow, and we have repurchased over $55 million in shares year-to-date.
Our priorities for 2026 remain focused on strengthening our category leading brands to improve market share trends, launching strong innovation, and driving continued gross margin expansion. We have maintained our earnings guidance while navigating a dynamic demand environment and cost inflation headwinds. On a combined basis, Twisted Tea and Sun Cruiser volume is very slightly positive, and revenue is growing year-to-date through 29 weeks. Sun Cruiser is revenue and margin accretive for us, and the brand continues to expand distribution and recruit new drinkers.
