Announcing The Gist by Sightlines
<p>We're coming to you today to bring you up to speed on some things we’ve doing since our hiatus. </p> <p>One of the ways we’ve refocused our efforts is on our <a href= "https://Sightlines.news">Sightlines.news</a> brand. If you’re not already aware - <a href= "https://Sightlines.news">Sightlines.news</a> is our industry leading insights platform for the beverage alcohol and functional beverage industry. It’s a subscription-only newsletter and consultancy run by myself, and two voices I know you’re familiar with - Bryan Roth and Kate Bernot. </p> <p>You can subscribe to Sightlines at <a href= "https://Sightlines.news/sign-up">Sightlines.news</a>, or now you can follow our weekly brief in audio form by subscribing to The Gist by Sightlines, our new podcast weekly summary, available wherever you listen to podcasts. It has its own dedicated feed - it won’t be published here. So you should probably pause and go search for that and subscribe now before you forget. It’s called The Gist, by Sightlines. Here's the link to <a href= "https://open.spotify.com/show/7CxEU6wjuA3hoceQkODmA8?si=duqZWs8NTNmwNxIWfSWmnQ" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Spotify</a> and <a href= "https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-gist-by-sightlines/id1765000987" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Apple Podcasts</a></p> <p>We’ve been building Sightlines in the background for a couple years now, getting our product-market-fit tuned in just right. What I mean by that is - we’ve know there’s a desperate need for new perspective on the business side of alcohol and functional beverage - everything from the future of IPA to energy drinks to hydration to cannabis - it’s a wild wild world out there and not everyone is a billion dollar company with an insights and marketing department who can discern what’s happening and why. </p> <p>Well, that’s where the ingenious data analysis and insights development if Sightlines comes in - making sense of a seemingly senseless world of beverage that’s usually inundated with anecdote and narrative that doesn’t really hold up under scrutiny - and costing small companies a fortune, not to mention the opportunity costs of missing the mark time and time again. </p> <p>But how do companies sift thought all the data to make decisions about what’s next? Well, at Sightlines, we’ve found a way to level-set with our audience to provide the most critical information - often counter to the prevailing narratives - about what’s driving certain trends, categories, and value chain decisions. Some things are inherently consumer-driven, as they always have been. The pursuit of flavor, function, and feeling in peoples lives through beverage is timeliness even as it’s constantly changing. But in regulated industries, consumers don’t always get what they want - and producers have to navigate a world of legal grey areas, retailer priorities, and wholesaler consolidation that both stifles competition and creates unexpected white space. </p> <p>Sightlines is exceptionally good at helping companies navigate all that, with what we call actionable insights. It’s not research for research sake - it’s insights that help you make decisions about what’s next for you and your most important audiences. </p> <p>So, first of all, you should subscribe - there’s a monthly and yearly subscription package that gets you multiple reports a week in your inbox. And if you’re wondering if it’s for you - let me tell you, everyone from Boston Beer to Beat Box, to Martinelli’s Apple Juice, to Reyes rely on Sightlines to stay ahead of the competition. But small producers like Highland Brewing in Asehville, Allagash Brewing in Portland Maine, and 503 distilling in Portland Oregon rely on Sightlines to accelerate their growth. Wineries, distilleries, THC companies, and RTD and FMB producers all look to Sightlines for the uniquely cross-category insights we can deliver. </p> <p>Some have even brought us into their innovation process to partner on their portfolio optimization and pipeline development. </p> <p>And this week, for those of you who voraciously consumer podcasts as part of your knowledge gathering process, we’ve launch The Gist by Sightlines, a new podcast series you can find wherever you listen to podcasts (Here's the link to <a href= "https://open.spotify.com/show/7CxEU6wjuA3hoceQkODmA8?si=duqZWs8NTNmwNxIWfSWmnQ" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Spotify</a> and <a href= "https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-gist-by-sightlines/id1765000987" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Apple Podcasts</a>) where Kate and Bryan and myself break down our recent reporting to give you a sense of what we’re working on and why. </p> <p>If you want to get the insights, you’ll need to subscribe to the newsletter on Sightlines, but if you need another way to keep up, this podcast called The Gist by Sightlines will be a great weekly listen and keep you up to speed. <br /> <br /> Here's the link to <a href= "https://open.spotify.com/show/7CxEU6wjuA3hoceQkODmA8?si=duqZWs8NTNmwNxIWfSWmnQ" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Spotify</a> and <a href= "https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-gist-by-sightlines/id1765000987" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Apple Podcasts</a></p>

Finding The Joy Of Craft Beer
<p id="yui_3_17_2_1_1721321891229_633" class="">Despite alarming headlines and loud proclamations that “craft beer is dead,” that’s only part of the story—and not a particularly accurate one, at that.</p> <p class="">Industry insiders can get bogged down in the depressing details (even we’ve been guilty of it at one time or another). But reporters Kate Bernot and Beth Demmon decided to see how and where the heart of craft beer still beat, and went to the 2024 Firestone Walker Invitational Beer Festival in Paso Robles to find out.</p> <p class="">It turns out, the craft beer industry can’t just be measured by Circana numbers or market share. Websites and social media don’t paint a full picture, and after talking to a bunch of festival attendees, they realized there’s a whole lot of love and life still left to consumers passionate about the beverage, the people, and the community. Craft beer loves to talk about how it brings people together, and based on their observations, it still can. </p> <p id="yui_3_17_2_1_1721321891229_641" class="">In this episode, you’ll hear from both Beth and Kate, as well as a number of attendees interviewed at the festival, on why they decided to spend their time and hard-earned money on an afternoon under the California sun. The beer itself plays a part of it, sure. But there’s so much more that keeps people coming back. This is finding joy in beer.</p>

The Hunt For Craft Beer's Cool
<p id="yui_3_17_2_1_1721319372120_624" class="">Beer is having a hard time these days. Category-wide, sales are down and interest just isn’t the same it used to be. But what if the enthusiasm that got us to this point—excitement that helped lead to almost 10,000 small and independent breweries scattered across the country—is still just as palpable now as it was one, two, or 10 years ago? It’s just a matter of looking.</p> <p id="yui_3_17_2_1_1721319372120_650" class="">In this special episode of the Good Beer Hunting podcast, beer enthusiasts from around the country explain why for them craft beer still means friendships, new experiences, and most of all, something cool at a time when there’s a feeling that it might be anything but.</p> <div class="post-details two-col"> <div class="subscribe"> </div> </div>
