WELCOME

As 2020 continues to deliver unexpected twists and turns, we are so proud of the critical role the craft food and beverage industry has played in keeping store shelves stocked across the U.S.

A recent report from the Specialty Food Association and Mintel forecast the impact of the pandemic on consumer purchasing patterns. Sales of specialty food and beverages have topped $158.4 billion, increasing 10.7% since 2017. In brick-and-mortar retail, the specialty food and beverage market grew three times faster than the entire food and beverage market between 2017 and 2019.

Although the market has experienced growth, we are saddened by the cancellation of many food events this year. With everyone's safety in mind, the Craft Beverage Expo is still moving forward as scheduled, in Louisville this December. We are hopeful we can connect with you in booth #307. Or, maybe we can chat with you virtually at the Pickle Packers International Annual Meeting next month.

In the meantime, don’t hesitate to reach out and let BOB know if there’s anything he can do to help you grow your business.
