Great, yet very sad, article by @kbernot about the aftermath of Hurricane Helene & how it affected Asheville breweries.
I spent a week or so in Asheville the Summer of 2023 & visited the breweries in this article. It's crushing 2 compare my pics then, 2 what's in this article 😭
Asheville breweries are still assessing Helene’s damage as they begin to rebuild - The Washington Post washingtonpost.com/food/2024…

I might have my new favorite "national political outlet touches down in Montana" correction.

The gravitational pull of RTDs, FMBs, and flavored non-alc beverages are changing the way drinkers think about traditional beer, wine, and spirits. It's about joy. It's about cutting through noise. It's about meeting people on their terms.
Here's how: buff.ly/3Njumvj

Cool (paid) fellowship listing at Business Insider for someone to cover the business of sports media (ESPN, DraftKings, etc). Deadline is Oct 18!

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.”

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…
