Had a fun interview with @dinfontay about the early history of @MichelobULTRA Shared some fun stories abt the launch, the focus behind the brand & how AABIII was relentless w/ distribs in his drive to make it a success. Sample sample sample. Thanks Dave -that was a good time.


Show me how you treat my friends & you’ve told me everything I need to know about you.


40 years @AZATHLETICS is an incredible career to reflect upon. @j_kessler bleeds RED & BLUE. Bear Down Judi & thank you for 40 years. ❤️💙 #BearDown

Sad to hear the news of the passing of Anthony Canecchia founder of @SanTanBrewing My heart goes out to his family, his colleagues, and all of the people he mentored & brought into the business. He was a true pioneer in the beer industry. He will be missed.

People leave bad bosses. Period. When you see a trend of a lot of people leaving/retiring - it’s not because they don’t bleed the company or still have crazy passion for the cause. It’s because their boss sucks & makes it a terrible environment to succeed.


This is the best nanny nanny boo boo - I’ve ever seen… #FightForTheFaithful

There's a new beer brand that just launched in Southern California called "Girl Beer". While I'm far from it's target audience, I'm fascinated by it being yet another example of the industry's newest trend and business model. It's the subject of my latest on Beer Crunchers.

Interesting via @kbernot at MT Brewers Association; When you look at hot trends in alcohol - the brand is telling the consumer how and when to drink it. Sunday Beer, Pizza Wine, Pool Pack, etc…

Related to the port strike, I've seen the often used number (originally from CNN business) that those ports cover "80% of imported beer, wine, whiskey and scotch and 60% of rum." Didn't ring true to me so I pulled some numbers.

A product showcase @NBWA tid bit.   Aside from trying the new Surfside Vodka Lemonades @DrinkSurfside (yum yum yum) - the alcohol infused 12% ABV whipped cream (“Whipped”) was a huge hit.  That’s some good fun.  #nbwaconvention

Cue all of the attorneys: Great seminar @NBWA abt the risks of beer distributors to sell cannabis & hemp derived products & how potential distribution agreements should be structured. Lots of alcohol attys in the room Framework uncertain from state to state. Caution #beerlaw


The @NBWA Conference kicked off tonight & I know that we are all looking for positive vibes & upbeat outlook. It’s been a tough run for many.   Come on @cpurser - Bring the Action.


.@NBWA kicks off today in beautiful San Diego. They picked a perfect week for beers & baseball. #beerstothat



My beerfriend asking me trends that I’m seeing from distribs. Seeing that distribs  are not funding supplier big $$$ marketing spends. Like nope not doing it anymore.  Figure it out.  Working on operational efficiencies and that marketing $$$isn’t part of budget.

“Whats the number one brand on draft nationally right now? Open lines.” Well said, @KCbeerchick, at MT Brewers Conference.

Part of the challenge in regaining draft beer's lost ground is not understanding the scale of the opportunity. Draftline Technologies estimates that recapturing open draft lines alone could generate close to $1b. More on what's at stake in draft today: sightlines.news

.@KCbeerchick at MT Brewers Conference: Today’s goal for craft breweries is to manage the turmoil. Be careful chasing fads + be diligent about the innovation pipeline. “Most often, 80% of your core beers are what’s keeping the lights on.”
