The Brewbound team reconvenes and debriefs following the National Beer Wholesalers Association’s Annual Convention. Zoe and Justin give a field report on the convention, including the issues at the forefront of wholesalers’ minds, the products sampled on the floor and the vibe at the Alliance for Women in Beer and BREW Making Moves event.

September has brought not only a heatwave to the Northeast, but a flood of beer industry news.

On this week’s Brewbound Podcast, Justin and Zoe dive into some of the latest headlines, including several business deals, such as Brooklyn Brewery’s minority investment in Hoplark and Green Man and Appalachian Mountain Brewing’s new joint venture.

The duo also discuss the closing of Reverend Nat’s Hard Cider, the search for new equity partners at Weathered Souls and Lost Nation and the changing of the guard that’s happening in beer. 

Plus, Justin and Zoe play Another Round or Tabbing Out on candy corn hard cider and share their experiences sampling Dunkin’ Spiked.
