I had the privilege of representing Beam Suntory at Quirks Chicago on a panel where we discussed the evolving consumer relationship with alcohol and the burgeoning low/no-alcohol segments. It was an honor to share the stage with Sean McCullough from Molson Coors and Jessie Janego Higgins from Toluna, as we explored how our industry adapts to these rapidly changing category dynamics.
