Great Podcast and Insights
A great group with awesome rotating guests providing awesome insights in the beverage industry!
Informative and Entertaining
Thoroughly enjoying these episodes, which cover major trends in the beverage industry and markets (primarily US from what I have heard). Knowledgeable hosts who know what they’re talking about and also bring in industry experts for specific topics, i.e. Constellation to talk e-commerce. Best podcast on the drinks business I’ve found so far.
