Napa Valley Distillery Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 Is our industry heading in this direction? http://news.yahoo.co...-145458068.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pressure9pa Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 I don't believe it will be to the same extent. I think in general, the big boys in our industry didn't participate in the race to the bottom of quality and cost to the extent that A-B, Miller, et al did in the beer industry. The large brewers opened the door wide open for craft breweries to eat away at their market share. The distillers certainly cut a few corners, but not nearly to the extent of the brewers. This is why I try to be more conservative whenever I look at a total available market 5-10 years down the road. Don't get me wrong, I think our industry is on the rise, I just don't think it will boom like the beer guys are seeing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grehorst Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 There was an excellent discussion of this at the last ADI conference, view the "2011 and beyond" powerpoint here- http://distilling.com/conference.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So true. Those who ignore this fact do so at their own peril. Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
