Niman Ranch’s Post

We have a new beer coming, and it is one we never anticipated making.   About a year ago, our friends at the Sheraton Hotel challenged us to make a beer using honey from their culinary garden on the rooftop of the Sheraton downtown. The sales team and I got very excited. The brewers, not so much.   Honey in a beer… Isn't someone else in DFW doing that already? And it's their flagship beer, right? Yes, which is why we knew we couldn't also use citrus. That made the challenge even harder because the flavors pair perfectly together!   After a year of playing with variations and sometimes avoiding the project altogether, we created a beautiful honey lager that our brewers love just as much as the sales team. You can taste the honey, but it's not over the top or too sweet. And no fake adjuncts. It's truth to materials with the honey exactly as it should be.   Now, it needs a name! We've been brainstorming, and we need help. Do you love any of these names or have ideas?   Buzz Brigade Bee-52 (I can't believe how much I love this one) Buzz Bomber Sweet Victory (might be a trademark violation) Honeycore Golden Cargo   It will be on tap on Tuesday. It's not ready for distribution yet. We need a name first so then we can label it!

 A good case study for trends in  #customerexperience and  #retaildesign where you come to a branded space NOT to do shopping; you come to meet each other, intimately,    #chivasbrothers #brandstorytelling #scotchwhisky

I performed an experiment tonight! I tried these four Aldi UK beers, all imitations of branded Beers available in the UK. What did I discover? All performed well, I have my favorites and honestly do not find the branded ones worth the extra money! I personally rate them :- 1. Rossini 2. Birra Mapelli 3. Pilsner 4.RheinBacher Results will be subjective, yet I can say it is worth giving them a try for yourselves. #DigitalMarketing #Creativity #Beer #Lager #Value

Chablis On Sale 67wine.com It’s funny how things come together. About a week before Lettie Teague’s article appeared in the Wall Street Journal, a conversation took place between our Burgundy buyer, Bart, and Bernie, who manages the finances of the shop. The conversation went very much like this: Bernie: “Bart, why do we have so many Chablis? Can we cut back on the selection for budget purposes?" Bart, somewhat exasperated: “No, in fact, I was thinking of expanding the selection. They are some of the best white Burgundy wines we offer and I really enjoy them. And, they are excellent and offer great values, but, most importantly, our customers love them!” Bernie: “I hear you, but can’t we carry fewer?” Bart, even more heatedly: “We sell all of them, and could sell more!” And then, Lettie Teague comes into play and Bart expands the store's selection.

Day 85 of #100daysofcode challenge ... solved the daily DSA problem of #geeksforgeeks 85/100th day Love Babbar Sheet : Given an array, Arr[] of size N represents N house built along a straight line with equal distance between adjacent houses. Each house has a certain number of wine and they want to buy/sell those wines to other houses. Transporting one bottle of wine from one house to an adjacent house results in one unit of work. The task is to find the minimum number of work is required to fulfill all the demands of those N houses. if arr[i] < 0, then ith house wants to sell arr[i] number of a wine bottle to other houses. if arr[i] > 0, then ith house wants to buy arr[i] number of a wine bottle from other houses. #vitbhopal #drgvishwanathanchallenge #vitbhopallions #drgvishwanathan

I found in a book a record of the first On-trade Premiumization of history: "A price list on the wall of a bar in Pompeii states: for one coin, you can drink wine; for two, you can drink the best; for four, you can drink Falernian (a top wine made of Aglianico grapes)." It's a quote from the book The Restaurant by William Sitwell. I loved how simple it is. A straightforward value-based selling story from 2000 years ago. Brands are built bottom-up.

With a very challenged industry outlook the next 2-4 year (global oversupply, negative press on Alv consumption, etc.), #nolo is a refreshing addition to the wine portfolio. The more we embrace it, the better the technology with evolve and more positive overall influence for a conscientious generation. #nonalcoholic #nonalc #wineindustry #consulting #winemakersforum #techtalk4wine
