  • Best in the Biz!

    I’m a Regional Manager for an FMB Supplier and I log a lot of miles each year driving to see all of my distributors. Beernet Radio is one of the best ways to help me keep up with the latest happenings in our industry while I’m on the go and I always learn something new with every interview. I’ve been a fan of Harry since the first time I read BBD and it’s always nice to hear everyone on the BBD team give their take on things. They do a great job of recognizing hot trends and the smaller supplier... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ep. 340 Bourcard Nesin of Rabobank
Q: And so, for people who maybe missed that issue or haven't seen the note, can you summarize what the gist of it was?
It centers on the shift toward wholesaler consolidation, the implications of RNDC's exit, and how brands must rethink route-to-market strategies in Wine & Spirits, including the move toward more fragmented or diversified distribution models and the role of beer networks.
Ep. 341 Jeff Agase and Doug Veliky of BrightBev
Q: How do you see regional RTDs evolving and what makes a regional RTD potentially successful beyond its local roots?
Regional RTDs can succeed when there is a strong local base (home market) and the brand can maintain consistent presence and messaging as it scales, leveraging local affinity to support broader reach without diluting its regional identity.
Ep. 341 Jeff Agase and Doug Veliky of BrightBev
Q: What is the current outlook on major shocks to the system in the beverage distribution landscape and what does it mean for small and medium suppliers?
The guests suggest the shocks have accelerated movement and brand diversification; there is an emphasis on the beer network as a viable convergence space for founder brands, with suppliers adapting by expanding portfolios and exploring new models to accommodate growth.
Ep. 338 Kaumil Gajrawala of Jefferies
Q: So Kaumil, you've been doing this for 20 plus years, and settle this for us. Just settle this, please. Everybody's asking, is this structural?
It's a cycle. It is a cyclical downturn, and we're probably toward the end of this cycle; it's not a structural collapse of the beer category.
Ep. 339 Alex Pratt and John Daly of Good Boy Vodka
Q: Why lean into John Daly as the brand's spokesperson and how has that affected activations?
John Daly's name and fanbase drive signings and on-site engagement, enabling premium positioning and rapid growth across markets.
