The Latest Spirits News, Plus Colorado Craft-on-Craft Brewery Deals

Tariffs and economic uncertainty were hot topics during the Distilled Spirits Council of the United States’ (DISCUS) annual meeting in late March. 

 

BevNET spirits editor Ferron Salniker joins this week’s Brewbound Podcast to share the scuttlebutt from the meeting, including trends to watch, distributor consolidation and supplier jumps to beer distributors. 

 

Plus, Justin and Zoe share their experiences after attending Bell’s Oberon Day in Kalamazoo, Michigan. They also break down the latest craft-on-craft deal activity in Colorado with new partnerships between Left Hand-Dry Dock and Wilding Brands-Great Divide.

 

The show wraps up with Another Round or Tabbing Out on breweries revamping existing brands, including a taste of Sierra Nevada’s transformation of Big Little Thing into a hazy imperial IPA.
