The first Brew Talks virtual meet up of 2021 will take place Thursday, May 13, and will feature two discussions on the rapidly evolving beer industry.
The virtual Brew Talks will take place from 3 to 5 p.m. ET and will live-stream free on Brewbound.com and Brewbound’s social media platforms.
The first Brew Talks of 2021 will reconvene several panelists from its April 2020 discussion to gain perspective on how these businesses are faring one year later and what the path forward is for the industry.
Dogfish Head Craft Brewery co-founder Sam Calagione and Winking Lizard Tavern co-owner John Lane will return. Julie Verratti, the co-founder of Denizens Brewing and current associate administrator of field operations for the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA), is also slated to join the conversation, along with another panelist, who will be named in the coming days.
A second panel discussion will follow on the blurring lines within the beer industry as producers turn their focus to hard seltzers,FMBs and spirits-based, ready-to-drink offerings. Boston Beer Company CEO Dave Burwick and Lone River Beverage Company founder Katie Beal Brown will join the conversation. Additional speakers will be announced in the coming weeks.
Audience members are encouraged to submit questions ahead of the program to news@brewbound.com.
