Check out our exclusive interview with LOO-BLAH-NAH, a cutting-edge #craft #brewery from Ljubljana, Slovenia, where we delve into the inner workings of the brewery business. Discover how they went from zero to producing 120,000 liters of #beer per year, and explore the latest market trends firsthand:

So...I write quite a bit about the power of #local and the opportunities it creates for brands and retailers. Last weekend, thanks to a 6th grade travel basketball tournament, we made a trip across the border to Wisconsin. My 15-year old daughter shared the following Instagram post on the family text chain this morning with us and had both my husband and I laughing so hard that there were tears. Then, it randomly occurred to me how perfectly this truly captures how strong local brands can drive consumer behavior. New Glarus beer is only sold in Wisconsin. There are 100s of brewers in the Chicagoland area, and yet when we cross the border, the mission to find New Glarus beer and bring it home is a requirement of any trip. It drives trips to local grocers near the state border. Ironically, my intentionally keeping distribution local, New Glarus has actually created a fascinating bulk-purchase demand that benefits their brand but also local retailers. While the approach doesn't work for everyone, it clearly works for them. PS - We did a beer run for ourselves and multiple neighbors after the tournament, going out of our way to go to the Woodman's Food Markets in Pleasant Prairie before heading home because we found over the years of random trips to the area that they have the best selection and prices. Cheese curds were also purchased... Anyone else made a special trip to a retailer in a different state JUST for a local brand? Are the Sheehans the only ones that do New Glarus beer runs? #Illinois #craftbeer #beer #Wisconsin #NewGlarus #wisconsinbeer #shoplocal #grocery #groceryretail #localbrands #cheese #independentretailers #localgrocers #Wisconsinbrands #WisconsinRetail https://lnkd.in/gczpHU9p

3 examples of breweries fighting the good fight, and a great breakdown of how they find themselves leaning into a local focus. Great beer is worth grinding for, especially when it's part of a community's fabric. The theme of focusing on what's right around us vs. what might be around the bend and actually out of reach rings true as we march towards 2024. Cheers to Kate Bernot and Good Beer Hunting for this coverage.

Fall will be here before we know it — and that’s peak event season. 🍂 Here are five genuinely unique, fun field marketing ideas you should consider hosting: 1️⃣ Biergarten/Winery + dogs Rent out a bar that allows dogs and have guests bring their furry friends. I know one guest that would attend in Indy 👀 Peep Remi, our Bernedoodle 🐶 2️⃣ Cooking class Book a class that focuses on making fall dishes with in-season ingredients — squash, pumpkins, apples, cinnamon, etc. 3️⃣ A panel + pickleball Host panel content, followed by a pickleball tournament. (I just might steal this one.) 4️⃣ Wine tasting Tour 2-3 different wineries and provide a luxury shuttle to take people around for the evening. 5️⃣ A private boat dinner Headed to Boston or San Francisco? Rent a private boat for an evening. #fieldmarketing
