In this episode of The Bourbon Lens Podcast, Jake and Scott travel to Clermont, Kentucky to sit down with Alex Bowie, Director of Homeplace Experiences at the James B. Beam Distilling Co. The conversation was recorded on location in Beam's brand-new podcast studio, with Bourbon Lens receiving early access to the space for an exclusive insider look. While working through a few first-day kinks in the new studio, Jake and Scott explore what makes the Beam Homeplace experience unique and dive into the current and upcoming whiskey innovations coming out of the James B. Beam Distilling Co. Alex shares insight into how Beam approaches storytelling, hospitality, and innovation while honoring generations of bourbon-making tradition. A major focus of the episode is the debut of the Hardin's Creek Warehouse Series, a new limited collection designed to showcase how different warehouse environments shape bourbon flavor. The discussion breaks down how rickhouse design, height, and microclimate influence maturation—even when all other production variables remain the same. The episode wraps with a look at Beam's newly announced partnership with the Cadillac Formula One Team, set to debut during Cadillac's inaugural 2026 F1 season, highlighting Beam's expanding global presence and crossover into motorsports culture. Hardin's Creek Warehouse Series: Release Details A New Chapter in Hardin's Creek Innovation The Hardin's Creek Warehouse Series is a limited, three-part collection that builds on the brand's experimental roots. Following the 2023 Kentucky Series—which explored terroir across multiple Beam campuses—this release isolates a single variable: the warehouse itself. Each bourbon uses the same mash bill and production process, allowing the aging environment to take center stage. As Freddie Noe, Eighth Generation Master Distiller at the James B. Beam Distilling Co., explains, the Warehouse Series demonstrates how maturation environments alone can dramatically shape flavor. The Three Warehouse Expressions Warehouse R – "The Mushroom" Aged in a single-story, windowless warehouse Cool, dark conditions similar to a forest floor Flavor profile emphasizes deep oak influence and toasted sweetness 55% ABV (110 proof), 11 years old Warehouse W – "The Beaver" Aged in a nearly 100-year-old, five-story rickhouse near a creek Produces a balanced bourbon with lighter oak smoke and depth 55% ABV (110 proof), 11 years old Warehouse G – "The Owl" Aged in a towering nine-story warehouse Results in layered aromatics and increased complexity 55% ABV (110 proof), 11 years old Each bottle features artwork by surrealist artist Max Loeffler, using symbolic characters and hidden design elements to tell the story of each warehouse environment.

Big news: The I Like Beer podcast is moving to video, thanks to a new partnership with the San Diego Brewers Guild, and we're kicking things off with our very first field trip episode. We head to Guadalupe Brewing Company to hear the unbelievable story of owner Raul, whose craft beer journey began by getting turned away at the border while trying to smuggle a homemade brew system—complete with a "cool" flammable sticker that officials didn't appreciate—into Mexico in his pickup. The trip culminates in a taste of the legendary "Drunk Elvis," a massive 12.3% ABV imperial stout that unleashes a circus of peanut butter, banana, and chocolate on your palate.

We're starting the year with a full plate of wins, a smarter way to drink, and a dinner you can make before the water boils. We look back at 2025 with clear eyes and real numbers, from forty new episodes to an 88 percent completion rate that tells us you're staying to the last bite. From there, we shift to drinking with intention. The low and no alcohol movement is reshaping shelves, but skipping spirits doesn't mean skipping flavor. We walk through a practical middle path: wine-based cocktails that keep ABV low and satisfaction high. Whether you're aiming for Dry January or just a gentler social ritual, these ideas help you sip smarter without losing the fun.To finish with a tasty bite, we share a weeknight classic from the team at Hey Babe: Shrimp linguini with spinach for color, and Pecorino Romano to finish. It's quick, bright, and totally doable.If you enjoy these stories and tips, help us grow by sharing the show with a friend who loves food. Support the showLiked the episode? We'd love a coffee!

After braving the Black Friday crowds outside Binny's and pissing in bottles in now temperate weather, Alex and Stephen have sourced a horizontal of all six of Goose Island's Bourbon Country Brand Stout releases from this year. They'll be goosin' it, they'll be loosin', and they'll be Power Rankin' it to see how this year's Chicago Juice stacks up. Nothing like 14% ABV beers in the AM to kick off the new year.

We hope your hangover isn't too bad. It's 2026 and we are cracking open a couple of bottles to kick the year off right. We've featured Smedsbo Slott quite a lot recently but that doesn't mean we don't want to keep trying their beers. Elektra Sauer Kveik is one of their highest ABV beers. Clocking in at 22% ABV, this sour ale uses wild fermented Kveik and a Belgian Quad grain bill.  Omnipollo and Trillium Brewing team up again to give us Kanelbullar. This pastry stout is filled with cinnamon, cassia bark, vanilla, coconut and cardamom. They went full Swede on this. #beer #craftbeer #drinks #imperialstout #pastrystout #sourbeer

Send us a textSleigh bells are packed away, but the glasses are out, starting with Kringle Juice from Big Ditch Brewing—a hazy IPA that looks like Christmas and drinks like clean citrus and pine. We dig into the aroma, that first juicy hit, the subtle dryness as it warms, and why it stacks next to Elvis Juice without feeling like a clone. At 7% ABV and easygoing bitterness, it's a quiet holiday hero for anyone who wants a festive can and a year-round flavor.The chat opens up from there. We trade stories about how family traditions shift once the grandparents stop hosting—why some branches drift into smaller circles and how one person stepping up can bring the tribe back together. It's a candid, funny, and honest look at gathering without the pressure of a calendar date, where the real win is people in a room, not perfection on the table. Along the way we toss in gaming chaos: accidental alliances, surprise ambushes, and the social weirdness of PvP that still keeps us logging on. It's community, whether you find it around a tree, a couch, or a loading screen.Then we pour dessert: Hardywood's Peppermint Bark Stout. Chocolate-forward, softly minty, and lighter than most pastry stouts at 9.2% ABV, it slides between milk and dark chocolate notes with a finish that feels like a winter nightcap. We talk pairings, why it works after dinner, and where it lands on our keeper scale. Add a few white elephant gems, a ham-sandwich confession, and a shout-out to a hot honey pepperoni pizza that stole the show, and you've got a cozy, laughter-heavy holiday wrap.If you're into craft beer reviews, seasonal stouts, hazy IPAs, and real talk about family and traditions, you'll feel right at home.

It's chock-full of frosty goodness to pair perfectly with frosty days"Cheers!

Japan is often described as having “spirituality without religion”, but what does that actually mean? In this episode, author Hiroko Yoda joins the Krewe to break down how spirituality quietly shapes everyday life in Japan, from nature and kami to shrines, folklore, and even anime.

If you're planning to drink more than usual on New Year's and you're on a fat loss or hormone health journey, this episode is your survival guide.   One night of drinking does not ruin fat loss — but what most women do around alcohol absolutely does.   In this episode, I break down how to drink intelligently, avoid hormone chaos, and stop the cycle of restriction → rebound → weight gain.   We cover:   ● What "white girl wasted" actually means (objectively) ● Why alcohol itself isn't the real problem — lack of structure is ● Why Dry January backfires for most women ● How restriction trains rebound eating, not moderation ● Why moderation is a SKILL you must train ● The best alcohol choices for fat loss and hormones ● Why champagne is elite for New Year's ● How pour size and ABV impact fat metabolism ● Why liqueurs and aperitifs are massively underrated ● How to drink more without starting January behind   This episode is about teaching your brain moderation, not white-knuckling restriction for 30 days and gaining the weight back later.   If you want to lose 17+ pounds in the new year while still enjoying wine, tequila, and social events — this is the strategy that actually works.  

It's the last day of our Advent 2025 calendar. We really hope you enjoyed this years selection. We had a lot of fun drinking everything. Day 24 ends things on a real high note.

We are almost done. After a couple of dusty oldies, we have something from a pretty new brewery. Day 23 gives us some eXcitement with X-Brewing. The Dutch brewery released an imperial coconut cereal pastry stout aged on Wild Turkey bourbon barrels. Project X #01 is a 12.7% ABV beer that somehow really works despite the weird concoction.  #beer #drinks #craftbeer #advent2025 #imperialstout

Melissa Galliani and Dan Berger. Dan Berger takes some time to explain Gamay Beaujolais today on California Wine Country with Dan Berger and Daedalus Howell. Later in the show, Barry Herbst from Bottle Barn will be in, to talk about sparkling wines they have in the store for the holidays. That portion of the show has its own podcast episode, right here. Dan has brought a Beaujolais from 2023 from a California winemaker who moved to France. He got tired of trying to make European style wines in California. Johnathan Pey made Pinot Noir in Marin County and made a Cabernet in Napa called Textbook. He decided to make a break from California and move to France. This wine is his French production, Domaine Johnathan Pey. Beaujolais ain’t no “Boo-jo-lay” Johnathan Pey bought two cru vineyards in Beaujolais. Gamay Noir au jus blanc is the full French name of the grape. Beaujolais is generally an unpretentions wine, easy to drink and not expensive. Pey wanted to apply modern winemaking techniques to grapes from the old plantation. He bought the vineyard about five or six years ago and has been tending the vines personally. Dan says this vintage is starting to show depth and intensity above the average for Beaujolais. 13% alcohol. The color is intense and suggests a highter ABV but that’s not Beaujolais. CWC is brought to you by Deodora Estate Vineyards. Visit Deodora to discover 72 acres in the Petaluma Gap that are producing exceptional Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Riesling. Sip the difference!  Usually, Beaujolais is just to open and drink. But some of the Cru Beaujolais will benefit from a couple of years in the bottle. John found that the other producers in France were young, and he is teaching them California techniques that are ahead of the game. This wine is full of fruit, but also an intensity, a Syrah-like aftertaste. Dan thinks maybe this wine will age in two days once opened. “Way more interesting than a typical Beaujolais.” It doesn’t have any oak, there was no barrel aging.

Goose Island's team breaks down what actually changes a barrel-aged stout over time and how they achieve a perfect balance with their adjuncts.In this audio-only episode, Crafty Brewers' Brian Noonan and Cody Gough join WGN Radio host Dave Plier in-studio to discuss this year's Bourbon County Stout lineup with Goose Island President Todd Ahsmann and Senior Innovation Manager Mike Siegel. They delve into the origins of barrel-aged stouts, Goose Island's unique place in American brewing history, and why barrel-aged beers taste different every year despite using the same recipe. They also present a guided tasting through the 2025 lineup, with practical tips you can use the next time you sip a high-ABV stout, from serving temperature to mouthfeel to how bitterness, acidity, and sweetness can be “levers” that create complexity. Plus: why ingredients are added after aging, how nut/cocoa/fruit additions are made to stay balanced, the surprisingly risky logistics behind refilling freshly-emptied barrels fast enough to prevent spoilage, and the story behind their limited King Henry II Barleywine release.About Goose Island: A Chicago brewery that has been dedicated to making quality beer for all people and all occasions since 1988.

We return to a familiar brewery on Day 13. The guys had both picked the same Smedsbo Slott beer. Stefan had to replace his so he got another Smedsbo Slott beer. Alfablot is a 16% ABV barleywine. Smedsbo Slott only knows how to make big beers and this one is huge. #beer #drinks #craftbeer #advent2025 #barleywine

Advent Day 12 is another strong beer. We're a little weary of quadruple IPAs. They usually overly sweet to mask the high alcohol flavor. Dutch brewers White Dog created Resting at the Bottom of the Ocean in collaboration with Brazilian Cervejaria Escafandrista. This 12% ABV bad boy goes down a little too smooth.  #beer #craftbeer #drinks #advent2025 #ipa #quadipa

This is the absolute MUST HAVE Belgian Christmas Ale. It's the liquid form of fruit cake; full bodied, furity with zesty season aromas, St Bernardus Christmas Ale is the perfect co-pilot for holiday adventures just mind the ABV.

Tom Oliver is delightfully talented, mischievously witty, and not only a renowned cider maker but also a top-notch perry maker. He may say, "If you're going to make perry and work with pears, you've already identified yourself as being criminally insane," but what we found was simply a bold maker willing to go the extra mile for every bottle. Enjoy this audio snap shot at Oliver's Cider and Perry Herefordshire, recorded on the 2025 Totally Cider Tour_UK Edition. Hear him share the story behind transforming his family's old hop barns into the heart of his cider and perry production, offering listeners a rare look into his traditional farmhouse methods. He discusses the challenges and joys of working with tannic cider apples and perry pears, spontaneous fermentation, barrel aging, and the evolving climate's impact on cider making. Tom has been featured in many Cider Chat® episodes and will be one of the select scheduled stops on the 2026 UK Blossom Time Totally Cider Tour. 00:00 Introduction to Perry and Cider Making 00:17 Meet the Host and Guest 00:57 Totally Cider Tour Experience 03:28 Challenges of Perry Making 04:11 Foraging and Traditional Perry Making 05:09 The Importance of Known Varieties 06:28 Cider Preferences and Quality 07:43 Totally Cider Tours - UK 10:18 Tom Oliver's Cidery Tour 11:47 Barrel Room Insights 13:08 Perry and Cider Fermentation 14:35 Pressing and Storing Fruit 15:51 Unique Perry Varieties 21:48 Barrel Aging and Tasting 25:03 Introduction to Fermentation 25:49 Wild Fermentation Process 27:11 Saccharomyces Yeast Role 28:34 Fermentation Containers and Aging 29:26 Bottling and Release Plans 29:44 Fermentation Under Pressure 32:28 Temperature and Duration of Fermentation 33:43 Challenges with Temperature Control 36:31 Barrel Cleaning and Maintenance 38:27 Regulations and Environmental Concerns 40:54 Conclusion and Future Plans Topics Covered The transformation of Oliver's hop barns into barrel rooms The shift from hops (Fuggles, Northdown, Target) to cider and perry fruit Why perry making is "a walk through madness" compared to cider The discipline of pressing and storing tannic pears at their peak Wild fermentation: apiculate vs. Saccharomyces yeast and how they shape flavor Barrel aging as both art and alchemy The sensory nuance of minerality and mouthfeel Keeping barrels "organically clean" for wild ferments Rising temperatures and the modern challenges of traditional cider making Perry Pear Varieties Mentioned Butt – dense and slow to soften; can store for weeks Thorn – softens quickly, needs immediate pressing Judge Amphlett – early ripening, fast fermenting Winnall's Longdon – honeyed, complex, but fragile and quick to spoil Yellow Huffcap – rich tannins, aromatic, often over-ripens on the tree Ciders & Perrys Tasted Eskimo Eyes Perry – 6% ABV, aged six months in rum and white wine barrels. A still perry that balances delicate fruit, subtle oak, and lingering depth. Barrel-Aged Still Cider – 9.2% ABV, matured 18+ months in Irish whiskey and Scotch barrels, bringing notes of minerality, oak, and sherry-like warmth.

The 14th release of Angel's Envy Cask Strength bourbon has been aged for a cumulative 10 years in new American white oak and port wine barrels. Described as the "pinnacle" of offerings from the brand, this is the first ever age-stated LE and it's bottled at 122.6 proof (ABV 61.3%). Over the years, we've had some excellent offerings from Angel's Envy. Many have been waiting for this one for 10 years, but, is it worth the wait?

Advent Day 07 slows things down a bit. We're getting off the high ABV train for a moment to enjoy a little sour beer. Holy Goat Bramble Smasher mixed fermentation golden sour with Scottish blackberries. It's tart treat with lots of jammy goodness. #beer #craftbeer #drinks #sourale #blackberry #advent2025

Send us a textThe night starts with a pour that looks like burnished copper and tastes like old-world craft: a Belgian imperial Christmas ale with caramel, marzipan, peach, and that signature Belgian yeast bite at 12% ABV. We talk through why it works—fermentation-driven spice, a dry finish that reins in sweetness, and the way a tulip glass unlocks aroma—before pulling back the curtain on our plan to bring cameras into the mix. Chairs were assembled, cables wrangled, and we share how we'll keep the vibe loose while making the show easier to watch and navigate.Then the tone shifts—first to a cringe-funny story about texting the wrong Greg and showing up to the wrong house for the game, then to a somber neighborhood headline about a resident found deceased and a trail of theft that followed. It's raw, unsettling, and it sparks an honest look at community responsibility and how quickly rumors snowball. We don't linger in the heavy forever; a volley of dad jokes and a spicy “would you” segment snaps us back to levity, the kind that makes winter nights feel human.Round two in the glasses is a different beast: an imperial stout loaded with maple, almond, and amburana wood chips. Black as midnight, thick on the pour, and smoky-sweet on the palate, it feels tailor-made for a snowy campfire. We compare notes on temperature, glass vs can, and why amburana leans into warm wood, baking spice, and cigar-box aromas. Untappd loves it; we call it a shareable sipper. Along the way we hit beer value, small-batch hunting, WhirlyBall as unexpectedly great team building, and the vanishing Christmas bonus. If you like winter beer reviews, small-town stories, and a few unruly laughs, this one's for you.Enjoy the ride, tell us which beer wins your night—Belgian spice or imperial smoke—and tap follow.

Send us a textThe limited release that crosses loves for many bourbon and beer lovers has once again found its way to our glasses. That storied, bourbon barrel finished imperial stout, hailing from the great northern state of...Illinois...comes to us at a hearty 14.8% ABV this time around. Yet, there's something quite different about the presentation and packaging this time around for the Goose Island Bourbon County Brand Stout...how peculiar. Does it matter, in the end? Perhaps...perhaps not. But, what we really care about is what that deep, black liquid inside tastes like and whether it's worth picking it up. So, with that in mind, dear listener (or viewer), I say, hit play, and...enjoy.Become a patron of the show at http://www.patreon.com/mybourbonpodcastLeave us a 5 star rating and review on your podcast app of choice!Send us an email with questions or comments to thisismybourbonshop@gmail.comSend us mail to PO Box 22609, Lexington, KY 40522Check out all of our merch and apparel: http://bourbonshop.threadless.com/Leave us a message for Barrel Rings at 859.428.8253Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/mybourbonpod/Twitter: https://twitter.com/mybourbonpodInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/mybourbonpod/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/thisismybourbonpodcastPayPal, if you feel so inclined: PayPal.me/pritter1492Link to our Barrell Rye Armagnac Finished Pick: https://shop.whiskeyinmyweddingring.com/products/barrell-private-release-rye-1a03Support the show

Advent 2025 Day 03 is a mild day, a Smedsbo Slott mild day. XXXXAle is a 13.5% ABV mild ale. Smedsbo Slott is Sweden's reigning king of making high AVB ales. The lowest ABV we could find is 9.5%, it just goes up from there. XXXXAle is a collab with Shapes & Objects.  #beer #craftbeer #drinks #advent2025 #mildale

Advent 2025 Day 02 takes it down a notch with a bitter.  Woodforde's Nelson is a traditional English bitter. Most canned bitters are flat and uninteresting. Woodforde's Nelson is a real treat. Smooth, roasty and malty, at only 4.5% ABV, you can easily have a few of these. #beer #craftbeer #drinks #advent2025 #bitterale

In this episode of Bourbon Lens, Jake and Scott sit down with Field of Dreams Whiskey Co-founders Andy Keller and Drew Storen, former Major League Baseball pitcher, to talk about how their shared passion for the game and great whiskey turned into one of the most unique whiskey projects in America.

Andy and Drew share how the spirit of teamwork, community, and nostalgia behind Field of Dreams continues to inspire their approach to whiskey making. Listeners will also get an inside look at Field of Dreams Small Batch Bourbon and their newest release, Field of Dreams 2025 All-Star Whiskey — a truly historic blend. This one-of-a-kind whiskey brings together: 30 distilleries in one bottle, the largest blend in whiskey history Field of Dreams Bourbon plus a whiskey component from every major league market Expert blending by Murphy Quint of Cedar Ridge Distillery A mix of bourbon, rye, single malt, wheat, and Canadian whiskeys Average age of 7 years, with barrels aged 1–25 years 108 Proof (54.0% ABV) and limited to 10,000 bottles nationwide Whether you're a baseball fan, whiskey lover, or both, this episode tells an inspiring story about passion, creativity, and collaboration.

It's the first day of Advent. That can only mean one thing, it's time to start the What's on Tap Podcast 2026 Advent calendar. Day 01 brings us a classic from Italian brewery Crak. Monsueto 2024 is a 13% ABV barleywine. Sweet, boozy, and packed with caramel and fig notes, what a great way to start the calendar. #beer #craftbeer #drinks #advent2025 #barleywine

This week, we're following the yellow brick road straight into an Oz double feature—Wicked: For Good and Return to Oz. Two films, decades apart, both proving that no matter how far you wander, you can't escape those ruby-slippered roots. To keep our courage up, we crack open two high-octane potions from Lagunitas: the Maximus Colossal IPA and the Shugga Original Recipe—big, bold brews with enough ABV to make even the Cowardly Lion roar. Let's just say there's no place like foam. Joining us is returning guest Adam Beam, who chatted with us about the original Wicked: Part One. He's back to help us untangle this Emerald-City-sized tapestry of witches, Wheelers, wizardry, claymation fever dreams, and questionable Kansas parenting. We ease on down the cinematic road, talk sequels that aren't really sequels, prequels that might be sequels, and why Return to Oz still feels like the dark and stormy night Dorothy really needed a therapist for. If you're into green girls, Gump gliders, and stories stitched together with a whole lot of heart, this episode is over the rainbow and then some. Grab a Maximus, click those heels, and join us—because this week, it's Oz or nothing.

Mike welcomes his brother Jizzy Jake Riley for a special Thanksgiving Thursday Stoutsgiving episode recorded in the taproom. They taste and rate six dark beers — including Bottle Logic's Jam the Radar (raspberry imperial stout), Chapman Brewing's nitro oatmeal stout, Pizza Port's Bacon & Eggs imperial coffee porter, Aerolodge's Voyager barrel-aged imperial stout, Great Notion's Barbarian peanut-butter cheesecake pastry stout, and Frogtown's Prince George bourbon-barrel vanilla porter — offering tasting notes, ABV info and personal ratings. The conversation ranges from favorite Thanksgiving foods and side-dish poll results to nostalgic holiday memories and traditions. Mike and Jizzy debate stout styles (barrel-aged vs. pastry vs. coffee), nitro vs. non-nitro, seasonal stouts vs. year-round pours, and play Stoutsgiving trivia and games with listeners. Key takeaways: Jam the Radar and Great Notion's Barbarian stand out as top pours, Chapman's nitro serves as a palate cleanser, and the hosts even blend all six beers into a surprise “stout gumbo.” The episode closes with gratitude, industry reflections, a preview of an upcoming reunion episode (150), and a reminder to support local breweries and follow @Wildrileysupply on Instagram.

This episode features Nicky Heckles, Vice President of Global Marketing for Smirnoff (Diageo). Dive deep into the Smirnoff marketing strategy that's fueling its success and discover how this iconic brand is dominating the Ready-to-Drink (RTD) market and authentically connecting with connecting with Gen Z consumers of legal drinking age (LDA). The episode reveals the playbook behind the viral success of the Smirnoff Ice campaign, a masterclass in self-aware humor and Gen Z LDA authenticity. * Beyond Impressions: Heckles shares the secret to measuring genuine impact and consumer resonance, moving beyond surface-level vanity metrics like impressions. The key is analyzing metrics related to brand advocacy, affinity, and acquisition, which demonstrate a deeper connection than just view counts. * The Unpretentious Voice: Discover the surprising Gen Z LDA trend Smirnoff is intentionally not chasing to maintain its unpretentious, real voice. Research shows Gen Z LDA craves authenticity and relatability, rejecting "overly polished perfection." Smirnoff leans into its own history of playful, self-deprecating humor (e.g., "We're called Ice but we're a liquid. We don't get it either.") to stand out. The Ready-to-Drink (RTD) market is the fastest-growing alcohol subcategory. Learn how Smirnoff differentiates itself from the flood of hard seltzers and spirit-based cocktails. * Unmet Consumer Need: Smirnoff's RTD portfolio addresses the critical consumer need for convenient, accessible, and reliably fun drinks for casual, social occasions. It positions itself as the unpretentious, easy choice, focusing on impulse purchases in the convenience channel. * Innovation Opportunity: The biggest opportunity for innovation in the next 12-18 months lies not just in flavor(which remains the most influential factor) but significantly in format and packaging (like the strategic shift from bottles to cans for impulse buys) and diversifying ABV options to cater to different occasions. Smirnoff's challenge is leveraging its "OG" vodka and RTD heritage while staying fresh for new drinkers. * Engaging Millennials: The brand strategically taps into nostalgia by referencing its long-standing playful tone and heritage (it's been around for over a century). The 25th birthday campaign for Smirnoff Ice is an example of celebrating its past while setting up a new era. * For Gen Z LDAconsumers, the brand focuses on cultural relevance, inclusive messaging (such as its "We Do We" platform), and humor/meme culture to ensure the brand remains dynamic, fresh, and aspirational. * The 'Glocal' Playbook Example: Heckles shares an example of a successful local activation, such as the Smirnoff Stage at Electric Picnic in Ireland. This activation was focused on radical inclusivity and accessibility, featuring wheelchair-accessible viewing decks, sign language interpreters, and Braille menus. The lesson for other distinct global markets is that while the creative message (the "G") can be consistent, the execution and cultural resonance(the "local") must focus on a universal value, like inclusion and community, to drive advocacy and market share gains. * Holiday Shift: The single biggest shift in consumer behavior Smirnoff is anticipating this holiday season is the continued prioritization of at-home consumption and gatherings focused on collective joy. The marketing strategy, from packaging to placement, is being adapted to capture impulse buys in the convenience channel and showcase the versatility of Smirnoff products for effortless cocktail creation at home. Gen Z LDA expects brands to champion a clear purpose. * Core Social/Cultural Purpose: Beyond responsible drinking, the core cultural purpose Smirnoff is championing is collective joy and inclusion (e.g., the "We Do We" platform). This purpose directly influences marketing by making Smirnoff the sponsor of inclusive events and influences product development to create options for diverse consumption occasions. This episode is essential listening for marketing executives, brand strategists, and anyone interested in how a legacy alcohol brand achieves cultural relevance, drives innovation, and secures its place in the future of the RTD market.

Nearly a year on the job, new-ish Lagunitas CEO Bernardo Spielmann is seeing opportunities for the legacy California craft beer brand.   Those opportunities include expanding Lagunitas Hazy IPA from a draft-only release to package, building on the successful launch of 9% ABV Hazicus Maximus hazy IPA, which now boasts 20,000 points of distribution, and revamping the packaging for non-alcoholic hop water Hoppy Refresher.    On the latest edition of the Brewbound Podcast, Spielmann shares that it's also about listening to consumers, who demanded the return of seasonal Unrefined Shugga', the 10% ABV strong ale that returned this year as a national play in bottles and club packs.    Spielmann tells Brewbound managing editor Jess Infante that the goal is to see what resonates and respond quickly.    "More and more as the craft segment matures, we're going to have to be sharper per channel, per market, per SKU how you want to build your proposition," he said. "There will be a rationalization and that's the expected approach. We need to facilitate that for retailers but also our distributors. It's also part of our strategy to be very sharp on how we launch or roll out innovations and the tradeoffs."    Spielmann also discusses the beer category's need to bring back socializing and capture those occasions. He explains how Lagunitas is doing its part with its "Party Legend" brand activation, which celebrates consumers who are the life of the party.    But first, Brewbound editor Justin Kendall and managing editor Jess Infante discuss the sudden closure of Rogue Ales & Spirits and why the shuttering of a top 50 craft brewery is jarring for the public and industry. They also dig into the rumored sale talks of party punch maker BeatBox to Anheuser-Busch InBev.    Jess and Justin also share their experiences, including a visit to Tree House's country club/golf course/taproom and the scuttlebutt from the California Craft Brewers Association's Summit and the Iowa Craft Brewers Guild's I-Best meeting.
