For those of you that have been subscribers to TokStocks for +1 Year, you'll know that we have been big fans of the business that the Happy Belly Food Group (CSE:HBFG) team are building. We were early on this and have seen the stock steadily climb as they've executed. From a stock low to its high...over 300% potential return. Here's our latest quarterly update video with Sean Black CIO of Happy Belly Food Group (CSE:HBFG) where we discuss all that has happened since December...it's a lot. We needed nearly an hour to cover all of it. 🖥 https://lnkd.in/gNGzgFHD This company offers an asset light franchised business strategy approach to the QSR and Fast Casual sectors and is backed by the original management team and founders of Mucho Burrito.

Honored to be mentioned by Insider Monkey in their latest update on Brazilian Beer Market. It's a testament to the strength of our partnership and the value we bring to the industry. The Brazilian beer market is a dynamic and rapidly evolving sector characterized by a blend of traditional and innovative trends. Brazil is one of the largest beer markets in the world, with a strong preference for lager-style beers, particularly pale lagers. However, the market has seen a growing interest in craft beers and premium segments, driven by a young, urban population with a taste for diverse flavors and higher quality products. Major global and local breweries dominate the industry, with companies like Ambev and Heineken leading in market share. The market is also influenced by cultural factors and festive events, such as Carnival, which drive significant seasonal consumption. link to the report: https://lnkd.in/d6yUi6KG #BrazilianBeer #CraftBeer #BeerMarket #Lager #BrazilianBrew #PremiumBeer #SustainableBrewing #CarnivalCheers #BeerTrends #BrazilianBrews
