We’re pleased to announce that video playback from last week’s Brew Talks meetup, held at Golden Road Brewing in Los Angeles, Calif., is now available for video playback. During the evening’s first conversation, Brian Mulvaney, the senior vice president of Bank of America’s beverage finance division, discussed investment strategies for craft brewers. In a second discussion, Golden Road co-founder, Meg Gill, and Paul Burgis, the brewery’s COO/CFO, explained the circumstances that led them to explore a sale to Anheuser-Busch InBev.

Brewbound is pleased to have both Gill and Burgis join tomorrow’s Brew Talks event, being held at the “side lawn,” located next to the Golden Road Brewery pub, to discuss, in-depth, why the company was sold. In a moderated question-and-answer session with Brewbound editor Chris Furnari, the pair will discuss the circumstances that led to a sale and how greater interest as well as investments from international players is impacting the broader craft sector, particularly in California.
