In today's CBD: Two of the largest Black-owned breweries, California's Crowns & Hops Brewing Co. and Full Circle Brewing Co., have struck a watershed alliance to leverage its members’ strengths and show up at market in a much bigger way. The new shared resources platform is dubbed “Circle of Crowns Beverage Group” (CCBG). The alliance “combines two leading Black-owned brands and centralizes production, sales and marketing between the two companies,” per announcement. Production will be centralized at Full Circle. Currently, the brands produce about 10,000 barrels collectively. It’s about “unlocking untapped opportunities” in the craft market, by "leveraging retail and venue diversity programs." Historically, Black suppliers have lacked the infrastructure to address these opportunities on a wide scale. CCBG also includes the historic Speakeasy Ales & Lagers brand, one of the oldest in San Francisco, and Sonoma Cider. "As you know, there's 9,000-plus breweries out there, and there's only 1% that are Black-owned," Arthur Moye, Full Circle founder, told CBD. "And I think, during a good period of the last half a decade or so, people have wanted to support Black-owned businesses. So you have major retailers reaching out to those 1%; you have distributors reaching out to those 1%; but then there hasn't been a structure by which they could significantly respond, because that 1% is mostly represented by people that don't have production facilities and can't create the margins and the economies of scale to sit on the shelves throughout the distribution networks of the chains." This starts to solve that. More here, we left the story open to all. https://lnkd.in/gsHErbeK

Non-alcoholic options aren’t cannibalizing alcohol revenue… ..they’re complementing it. New report from NielsenIQ shows an astounding 94% of non-alc consumers buy full-proof spirits in the same visit. #Nonalc buyers also spend 59% more on Total Alcohol versus those that exclusively buy alcohol 🤯 In other words, they’re your most valuable #customers. So what are some Top Tips to make your no & low options fly off the shelves? 👉 Prioritize: Visibility can make or break your non-alc section. Make sure your leading products are at eye level and place best-sellers from left to right. 👉 Invest in high-impact #POS: Shelf talkers and aisle violators increase awareness and drive #sales. 👉 Display non-alc in a second location: The storefront window, an endcap, case stacker, floor display, and barge inclusion are all great options. 👉 Know your products: There’s a whole array of non-alc products from mixers and RTDs to direct spirit replacements. Do a tasting, speak to your reps, and educate your staff. 👉 Take advantage of seasonal opportunities: The ever-popular Dry January drives huge volumes of non-alc sales during a traditionally down month for liquor. Display non-alc options prominently with Dry January messaging to capitalise on the moment, in-store and on-menu. Even on holidays like Thanksgiving and Cinco de Mayo, you can expect a substantial surge. 👉 Align promotions & activations: Enhance market penetration by aligning promotions with key calendar periods and #innovative product pricing. 👉 and as always, invest in high-quality, #customised design.. What other tips & tricks do you recommend? https://lnkd.in/eyrN6AHB

This is a great story.... The good and the ugly part about investors. I think investors who decides to fire the founder are selfish and wicked. They often end up losing in the end cuz the company no longer has a visionary leader. I bet Ben's first investors are not part of olipop success. No matter how someone tries to block you from advancing your career or reaching your goals. There's one thing they can never take away from you. Your smart brain. If plan A doesn't work, you got 24 more alphabets to go through. Never give up on your dreams. Choose wisely those whom you desire to work with. To avoid future headaches. #beverage #cpg #founders #entrepreneur

The US spirits market (volumes down -2%) declined for the first time in nearly 30 years in 2023, and every major TBA category saw volume declines, except for tequila, some US whiskey segments and RTDs. Looking forward, tequila is poised to add the most incremental value to the US spirits market by 2028, driven by premium-and-above expressions. https://lnkd.in/eMsyPt_R
