The pace of change in the beverage alcohol has always been fast moving. From new products to new categories to innovative promotions, consumers have come to expect to be offered the hottest trends and flavours from around the world. The last 12 months have seen another theme enter that may be less appetizing for drinkers but very interesting for shareholders, that being the number of Mergers and Acquisition in the industry. The drivers of this trend are vastly different by type of beverage and we'll cover these in detail over the next couple of posts, then compare how you can prepare, plan and build your path forward in the final post in this series. Cheers! https://lnkd.in/gXXqypgF https://lnkd.in/ghkCZnMt
