Brewbound Live 2022 Announcement: Ask a Dealmaker with Arlington Capital Advisors’ Ryan Lake

Brewbound Live 2022

Several big deals have gone down in 2022, from the sale of Stone Brewing to Sapporo, to Tilray’s recent acquisition of Montauk Brewing. Those transactions have one thing in common: investment bank Arlington Capital Advisors.

Arlington director Ryan Lake will speak one-on-one about the current dealmaking landscape for craft breweries, carbonated soft drink makers’ interest in bev-alc, the level of interest in fourth category products, growing middle tier consolidation and much more during the Brewbound Live business conference in Santa Monica, California.

Brewbound Live takes place November 29 and 30 at the Loews Santa Monica Beach Hotel. Register for Brewbound Live >>

Arlington has been an advisor in some of the biggest mergers and acquisitions in the beer space in recent years — including the sales of New Belgium and Bell’s Brewery to Lion Little World Beverages, the merger of Dogfish Head into Boston Beer Company, and Tilray’s purchase of SweetWater. The firm has also expanded its scope with an increased focus on the wholesaler tier via a partnership with Bump WIlliams Consulting.

The full agenda for Brewbound Live is available now, featuring more than 30 speakers from beverage-alcohol suppliers, wholesalers, retailers, advisory firms and data providers. See the full agenda at BrewboundLive.com.

Brewbound’s Pitch Slam competition will also return to provide exposure to up-and-coming brands.

Ample opportunities will be provided to network with industry colleagues at our networking parties, including a pre-event party at JuneShine on November 28, an opening night party at Firestone Walker on November 29, and wrap-up happy hour reception.

Brewbound Live is sponsored by Ollie, Scott Laboratories, Fintech, O-I, Yeti, Fast Track Packaging, CanCraft, the Beer Institute, Live Oak Bank, Strike Visuals, McDermott Will & Emery, Firestone Walker, and JuneShine. Supplier and service companies interested in sponsoring the Pitch Slam and/or Brewbound Live should contact Bryce McDonald about opportunities.
