A very good article by Adam Leyland from The Grocer on Carlsberg Group bid to buy Britvic plc and the potential coming together of a leading alcohol and soft-drinks company. The next few weeks will tell if Carlsberg is successful in it's quest to acquire Britvic, but it does open the question will the beverages industry now see other similar moves in this approach to M&A activity? Will other leading beer companies look to follow the lead set by Carlsberg? Would a leading spirits company look to acquire a softdrinks company with a strong mixer and tonic range? For any beverages company, strategic and long-term growth is all about winning "share of throat" through having a strong and varied portfolio of brands and products to meet consumer needs across different occasions and need states. M&A activity offers the potential to do this quicker than through organic growth.

A big year ahead for Coca-Cola in Australia as they look to disrupt the ARTD market. Along with the addition of Billson’s, we will be paying close attention to if/when the branded collabs (ie Jack & Coke) launch in Australia. With so much change in the category the need for reliable data and expert consultancy has never been stronger. If manufacturers are serious about gaining share and becoming category captains, having a Full-View of the liquor market is essential. This includes category, shopper, and consumer data across offline, online, on-premise and off-premise (including EDG coverage). Only then will these brands be in the best position to realise the biggest opportunities and provide the most suitable solutions to their customers and consumers.

Amazing to hear Gavin Hattersley, CEO of Molson Coors Beverage Company, share insights at The Beverage Forum! Molson Coors' strategic shift towards "beyond beer" brands like Simply Spiked, ZOA Energy, and more has been a game-changer, driving growth in both top and bottom lines for the first time since 2005 (talk about impressive!). As Gavin rightly puts it, "Summer is when we'll win or lose as an industry." The success during May through Labor Day will determine the trajectory of the entire category. Molson Coors' approach to innovation has evolved significantly in recent years. They've transitioned from a strategy of throwing a plethora of products at retailers and distributors to a more deliberate approach. This shift has led to a more focused and effective product lineup, enhancing their overall strategy and market performance. One of their big bets for this year is Happy Thursday, a no carbonation beverage similar to Vitamin Water with alcohol. This innovative product was inspired by insights into trending beverages from TikTok. It's no secret that macroeconomic conditions have posed challenges, leading to a somewhat subdued outlook. Interestingly, despite ongoing innovation in cannabis beverages, the impact on Molson Coors remains minimal. Additionally, Molson Coors' response to the growth of brands like Athletic Brewing Co. includes innovations such as Birra Peroni 0.0 and Blue Moon Non-Alcoholic. Excited to see how the industry evolves, and looking forward to more discussions and insights from leaders like Gavin Hattersley at The Beverage Forum! #BeverageIndustry #Beer #Innovation #TheBeverageForum #IndustryInsights #CPG #Retail #NonAlch #CSD #Alcohol Danny Stepper LA Libations Wild Bill’s Craft Beverage Co.
