Beer and hot dogs are as patriotic as it gets. But cracking open the cooler at your July 4th barbecue, you could be seeing fewer traditional brews, with alternatives like spiked seltzers and canned cocktails stealing their real estate. And you can blame the youngs for that: The youngest cohort of legal-aged drinkers from Gen Z, which encompass the ages from 21 to 26, are “drinking completely different than any other generation we’ve seen before,” according to NIQ’s Kaleigh Theriault. More on CNN about how they are disrupting Big Beer's business. https://shorturl.at/dNTYP

💥 A Guide to Irish Bacon #Rashers 🥓 The rasher has a fascinating history rooted in County Waterford, Ireland, where our operations proudly reside.

Cheers, CGA by NIQ and Draftline Technologies, for shining some much-needed light on why draft beer is so important. According to their recent report, draft is a $22 BILLION market in the US, accounting for 25% of all #beer sales. There are an estimated 1.5 million draft lines in the U.S., with the no.1 handle nationwide being open, presenting tremendous growth opportunities for savvy brewers and distributors... No wonder #draftbeer distribution points increased 8% over the past 12 months. Click the link to learn more - https://lnkd.in/eD6YA_4h Jennifer Hauke Matthew Crompton

I've spoken about this before but as other Distilleries have recently posted about Bottles they are launching, that cost the same as a rather nice new car, you might wonder, who actually figures-out the TRUE cost of Scotch Whisky, to the UK? There are now 150+ Disilleries in Scotland and dozens and dozens of them have BETTER 'stock' than this, to compete in a '15 year old to retirement age' Market. How MUCH stock? We're 'officially' told there are 'about' 20,000,000 Casks in all of Scotland but an afternoon on Google Earth (or a wee drive around Clackmannanshire, Fife and Ayrshire) will tell you, it's very clearly, much MUCH more than this. Also, as a Cask filled in as recently as the year 2000, is now considered 'old and rare' how many bottles in total are now worth £300+, never mind £30,000+? Remember, it's a GLOBAL Market with billion+ populations, in Continents all over the world not only taking part but growing, massively. Scotch is only 2% of the ENTIRE Indian Whisky Market, the largest in the World. Just 2%. If a 24 year-old, fairly unspectacular bottle (in competition terms) of The Dalmore is £5,000, what does this value the ENTIRE Scotch Whisky Market at? This ISN'T a stock that's depleted, it's getting much bigger. Every year, it gets replenished. Why on EARTH don't we have a cohesive Scotch Whisky Tourism Strategy and Budget? One NOT linked to any one Company, who may (or may not) be performing well? #ScotchWhiskyTruths

It's not every day a 16-year-old sample from the Granite Belt arrives on the doorstep. Given its age and the time it spent in temperature-controlled storage, the $59 RRP seems quite inexpensive. Above all, it's a wine that is a very good example to learn and understand what aged wine can deliver without burning a hole in your pocket. https://buff.ly/43vkgim
