State of the Beverage Industry

Running a local winery, brewery, or distillery requires dedication, hard work, and innovation to continue to grow. When the pandemic rocked the world last year, consumer behavior and the business environment drastically shifted. As we kick off 2022 into a (hopefully!) post-pandemic world, beverage producers need to innovate not only their products, but their business processes and strategies as well. Join us for this special in-person(!) event as we share our insights on these key topics affecting your industry: • Best Practices and Engagement in Regional Collaboration • Year in Review and Legislative Update • Legal Update • Economic Update • COVID Relief Taxability and Business Planning Strategies Presented by: • Erika Jones | CEO/Co-Owner | Giant Jones Brewing Co, LLC • Mark Garthwaite, Executive Director, Wisconsin Brewers Guild • Jeffrey M.
