“Jay and I worked tirelessly on many media plans and strategies over our tenure together. Jay provided extensive brand background, archetypes and goals to help guide media plans for his brands. His passion for his brands was contagious and extremely helpful. I wish all directors I work with would be as amazing to make me feel like a part of their brand team. I would endorse Jay for any job. He is passionate, focused and one of the strongest team players I've ever worked with. He's an asset to any company.”

Success in the craft beer industry often comes with accolades from top authorities. For instance, Samuel Adams Boston Lager, launched by The Boston Beer Company in 1985, quickly gained acclaim, winning the title of Best Beer in America just six weeks after its debut. According to Kirk O'Neil, TheStreet, over the past 40 years, Samuel Adams has grown to become the second-largest U.S. craft beer producer. Yet, even iconic names face hurdles. San Francisco’s Anchor Brewing Company, despite its awards, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in 2023 but found a savior in Chobani founder Hamdi Ulukaya. Similarly, Sarasota’s 99 Bottles Taproom & Bottle Shop, honored by Wine Enthusiast, faced financial struggles, filing for Chapter 11 despite being a beloved local spot. Interestingly, beer brands and other “vice” products often weather hard financial times better than many industries. However, the rising costs of goods and real estate present significant challenges for microbreweries (and so many businesses alike). https://lnkd.in/gQQ6zzDJ #HalifaxWest #WinTogether #capitaladvisory #MandA #restructuring #operatingadvisory #CraftBeer #BrewingIndustry #Entrepreneurship #SmallBusiness #SamuelAdams #AnchorBrewing #99Bottles #CraftBeerCommunity #EconomicChallenges

Uncle Nearest, the renowned U.S. whiskey producer, is expanding its portfolio by acquiring Square One Organic Spirits and stepping into the vodka market. This marks another significant milestone following its venture into Cognac last year with Domaine Saint Martin. Founder and CEO Fawn Weaver will lead Square One, with Allison Evanow staying on as an ambassador and innovation leader. This move highlights Uncle Nearest's commitment to authenticity and cultural resonance in its products. Uncle Nearest plans to rebrand Square One’s vodka and introduce a new line of organic vodkas made with corn, available across all 50 states this summer. Production will also move from Virginia to Tennessee. As Weaver stated, "By entering the vodka market, we’re not just expanding our portfolio; we’re responding to a consumer call for transparent, culturally connected brands.” This acquisition is a testament to the power of strategic growth and the importance of preserving authenticity in business.
