“Beer has become one of the strongest categories within the growing no- and low-alcohol movement, driven largely by advances in brewing expertise and a stronger understanding of how to preserve flavour and quality without relying on alcohol,” according to @WSETglobal.
ALT Over a blurred close-up of two hands clinking beer glasses, text says: "People are no longer looking simply for an acceptable substitute. They want an IPA that drinks like an IPA. A stout that still delivers roasted depth. A lager with genuine crispness and refreshment. The growing success of alcohol-free beer suggests the category is increasingly delivering exactly that."
Women have always been part of beer’s story and today, they’re shaping its future. 🍺 This #WomensMonth, BASA Interim CEO Nirishi Trikamjee spoke to Bizcommunity about women’s growing influence across the beer industry. bizcommunity.com/article/bee… @Biz_Retail
