Mentre ostacola le vendite di alcolici internazionali negli Usa con i dazi, Trump ne approfitta per rilanciare (per i fanatici MAGA) la sua vodka fallita 14 anni fa. La contro-campagna dell'industria degli alcolici contro gli estremismi dell'OMS: non sempre l'alcol fa male alla salute, anzi. Il distillato migliore al mondo è un whisky giapponese da mille euro a bottiglia, ma si fa onore anche un whisky italiano. Ecco la selezione delle notizie dai media internazionali sul mondo di drink e distillati.

On this week's Extra Serving, NRN editor in chief Sam Oches and executive editor Alicia Kelso discuss the latest restaurant industry news, including Chick-fil-A's planned beverage concept, Starbucks' layoffs, and a plethora of store closures. First up is Chick-fil-A, which announced that it would open a new concept called Daybright in Atlanta, serving specialty coffees, smoothies, juices, and more. It's not too surprising considering the ongoing beverage boom — which has also included McDonald's and Taco Bell rolling out distinct beverage-focused concepts — but is it sensible for Chick-fil-A? Sam and Alicia think so — find out why. Next they talk about Starbucks, which surprised just about everybody when it announced it would be laying off around 900 corporate employees — on the heels of the 1,100 it let go earlier this year — while also closing hundreds of North America locations. Is the sky falling at Starbucks? Sam and Alicia puzzle out this complex news and what it could mean for CEO Brian Niccol's plan for the future. Finally they address the flood of restaurant closures, which not only includes Starbucks but also smaller concepts like Iron Hill and Craveworthy-owned Hot Chicken Takeover, both of which closed up shop on their entire systems. Are these unique instances or could they be part of something much bigger? For more on these stories: Chick-fil-A is opening a beverage concept called DaybrightStarbucks announces more layoffs, plans to close 1% of North America storesCraveworthy Brands' Hot Chicken Takeover closes all locations

Our mutual friend (and PR guru) Laura Peet suggested I have liquor biz lifer Ken on, and he was a great guest! We chatted about the liquor industry, recent developments like GLP-1 inhibitors, the effects of phone-based gambling on drinks sales in bars, the Seagrams curse, and a whole bunch more, while I was drinking a Fre Damm Tostada a non-alc beer whose parent brand, Damm coincidentally is imported to the US by United States Beverage, where Ken's been brought in to bolster the liquor division. Ken on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kenaufiero United States Beverage on IG: https://www.instagram.com/unitedstatesbeverage/?hl=esLaura Peet on IG: https://www.instagram.com/peetcom7/ Get in touch with Duff!Podcast business enquiries: consulting@liquidsolutions.org (PR friends: we're only interested in having your client on if they can talk for a couple of hours about OTHER things besides their prepared speaking points or their new thing, whatever that is.

Il 27 settembre 2025 il mondo ha celebrato la Giornata Mondiale del Turismo, appuntamento che dal 1980 richiama governi, istituzioni, operatori e viaggiatori a riflettere sul valore del turismo e sulle sue sfide. “Turismo e trasformazione sostenibile” il tema scelto per quest'anno da UN Tourism, nuova denominazione dell'Organizzazione Mondiale del Turismo delle Nazioni Unite, con un richiamo forte alla responsabilità collettiva verso le comunità locali e il pianeta.Uno dei messaggi principali emersi dagli interventi istituzionali, a partire da quello del Segretario Generale ONU António Guterres, è che nessuna destinazione può prosperare se chi ci vive subisce gli effetti negativi del turismo di massa.

A lunch out may give you sticker shock, but a popping boba won't pop the budget, right? While some consumers are trying to be more money-conscious, many are still spending big on eating and drinking out. Chains like Chick-fil-A, Taco Bell, and McDonald's are all trying to cash in — in part by offering fancier, pricier, non-alcoholic drinks. Also on the program, we'll check in on New England's economy.

Ryan Embree: Welcome to Suite Spot, where hoteliers check in and we check out what's trending in hotel marketing. I'm your host, Ryan Embree. Hello everyone. Welcome to another episode of The Suite Spot. This is your host, Ryan Embree, continuing our series of the Suite Spot Road Trip into the summer a little bit coming into the fall. I'm here with right down the road from our Travel Media Group headquarters, I-4. I know you probably hear that and think might be a long way away. I-4 can be congested sometimes, but not too bad of a drive here. We're gonna talk about that today. I'm here with Robert Mason, Regional Director of Food and Beverage at Kolter Hospitality. Robert, thank you so much for joining the Suite Spot. Hey, thanks for having me. And we're gonna talk a little bit about your property today. We're gonna talk a lot about the portfolio and your job here as the Food and Beverage Director, but I do want to get to, as it is, tradition here on the Suite Spot, get to know a little bit about your background and what led you to Kolter Hospitality. Robert Mason: Wow. So I've been 42 years in food and beverage. It's all I've ever done. It's all I know. I started in the culinary side. I worked all the way up to executive chef. I actually studied under a master chef in San Francisco Bay Area and, had a really fun journey through culinary for about two decades. And about 15 years ago, I made the transition to the dark side, as I say, got into the front of house operations. and it's been a great journey. Work brought me to Orlando. In San Fransico, I was kind of a small fish in a big pond, but here I'm kind of, was kind of a big fish in a small pond, so to speak. Yeah, but Orlando has certainly grown and developed over the last 20 years that I've been here. And just having fun. And this opportunity actually came up right in the middle of COVID. I came from a much larger property down in South Orlando. And the reason I took this job was couple full first, you know, I like the company culture. I liked the fact that the Skybar had so much to offer. I saw the potential right away. And it's a smaller, easier to manage kind of thing 'cause everything's in one place as opposed to a big sprawling resort with 15 outlets and that kind of thing. But I have stayed with the company because I really do enjoy all the people I get to work with Sarah, I know, you know, Sarah and John from our corporate office and Scott, our president, they just do a wonderful job. And they're really people first. We're a really people first company. So I believe in the vision here and that's why I stay. It's awesome to hear. And your story resonates coast to coast, but I think it's a true example of hospitality professionalism. 'cause it's transferable skills, right? Yeah. You know, you can work at a hotel, whether you're in food and beverage on one side of the country, and then move all the way to the other, side of the country, like your story. And here you are in Orlando, before we get to talk about your property and this beautiful skybar that we're in right now,right behind us, I four can throw a rock to the Kia Center, Citrus Bowl right over there. Orlando City Stadium. For those that aren't familiar, Robert, that might be listening to this podcast, paint a picture of why this is just the perfect intersection and location. You've got yourself a great location here. Robert Mason: We really do. We really do. So, you know, I always tell people we're kind of three different operations within one.

Pumpkin spice lovers, rejoice! Shannon O'Shields, vice president of marketing for Rubix Foods, explains that even though pumpkin has become ubiquitous, it is not cancelled — and in fact, it has established itself among consumers as an anchor flavor for the fall season. Nevertheless, when considering seasonal food and beverage items, processors would be wise to expand beyond pumpkin and investigate some of the faster-rising flavors. In addition, O'Shields shares two of the macro trends Rubix Foods is watching in product development as the calendar prepares to turn to 2026.

 Today on Consuming the Craft, I welcomed Chris Reedy, Senior Director of Food, Beverage, and Natural Products Industry Training at the Natural Products Laboratory and Test Kitchen of NC BioNetwork. We dove deep into the rapidly evolving food safety landscape, particularly focusing on the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) 204 and its sweeping impact on food and beverage traceability. Our conversation ranged from the intricate logistics of tracking every ingredient in a sandwich to the challenges faced by beverage producers, natural product makers, and those entering the world of CBD and THC-infused products. We didn't shy away from discussing the regulatory Wild West these days, the importance of good manufacturing practices, and what's coming down the pike for craft producers as federal scrutiny ramps up. Chris Reedy brings decades of expertise in the intersection of food, beverage, natural products, and industry training. As the mind behind NC BioNetwork's laboratory and test kitchen, he has helped countless producers, from breweries to natural supplement startups, navigate regulations, quality control, and product development. His insights stem from both a scientific and a practical industry perspective, ensuring that companies strike a balance between innovation and safety and compliance. Chris is a passionate advocate for proactive quality management and is intimately familiar with both the promise and pitfalls of rapidly expanding product categories, such as CBD, THC, and functional foods. “I hope these companies that are making these products are going to start acting  like food and beverage companies.” ~Chris Reedy Today on Consuming the Craft: ·     FSMA 204 requirements will soon compel all food supply chain businesses to maintain thorough traceability records for every ingredient, ingredient source, and lot, greatly improving speed and accuracy in foodborne illness recalls.·     Transportation and logistics—especially temperature and sanitation in refrigerated trucking, remain a huge compliance challenge and could become a pain point as regulations tighten.·     Even small producers, like sandwich makers and brewers, must adopt lot coding and traceability, associating each output with precise ingredient origins.·     THC and CBD-infused foods, beverages, and supplements are currently in regulatory limbo, with the FDA focusing initial enforcement mainly on products that pose a risk to children or appear as copycats of popular snacks.·     Many CBD and THC product makers fail basic quality assurance: lack of testing, unclear dosing on packaging, and no third-party certification, all of which can cause dangerous dosing errors.·     Field-to-shelf testing for compounds like THC in hemp products requires a DEA-registered lab, making comprehensive quality assurance both expensive and complex for startups.·     State and federal agencies lack the manpower to inspect and enforce these new standards fully, so proactive internal quality systems and involving health officials early are recommended.·     Training, workforce development, and support from entities like NC BioNetwork can help companies establish robust quality management systems and prepare for both current and coming inspections.

✦ English actor and producer Jon Boyega gained international recognition for his role as Finn in the Star Wars sequel trilogy; however, that was not Boyega's first dip into science fiction. His debut feature-length film, 2011's "Attack the Block," and his most recently released film, "They Cloned Tyrone," both use the science fiction comedy genre to explore deeper social issues. Boyega appeared at Dragon Con over Labor Day weekend, and City Lights Collective co-host Kim Drobes caught up with him to discuss his passion for acting, his role as a film producer, and his love for Atlanta. ✦ City Lights Collective member and award-winning Atlanta comedian Joel Byars is one of the hardest-working people in the business. He hosts many comedy events around town, and his podcast, "Hot Breath Pod," aims to uplift his fellow comedians. Byars joins us weekly to share his picks for this week's must-see comedy, and today his mix includes a couple of big-name touring stars and a local treasure returning home to play the Fox Theater. ✦ There's no better place for Shakespeare than an outdoor theatre, and this fall, the Atlanta Shakespeare Company launches "A Shakespeare Happening," the first-ever free public Shakespeare festival in DeKalb County, taking place in the picturesque neighborhood of Avondale Estates. Alongside the theatrical performances, there will be live music and workshops for all ages. The first day of festivities is this Saturday and begins with "Tempest Jr.," an adaptation of "The Tempest" for young audiences. WABE arts reporter Summer Evans recently discussed the series with festival creator Nicole Sage, and Atlanta Shakespeare Company associate managing director Katie Grace Kirby. ✦ Long before modern choirs and vocal coaches, there was Sacred Harp—a uniquely American way of singing that turned everyday people into music-makers. This powerful and historic tradition dates back to the early 1800s and continues to thrive today, bringing together communities in spirited, four-part harmony. The 120th convention of the United Sacred Harp Musical Association comes to the Foundry at Puritan Mill on September 13 and 14, 2025. It is expected to be the largest gathering in a generation, drawing hundreds of singers from across the US and beyond. City Lights Collective producer Josh Thane sat down with Matt Hinton, a longtime Sacred Harp singer and scholar, to learn more about this enduring and uniquely American form of group singing. ✦ Atlanta's vibrant world of cocktails and zero-proof beverages thrives in our bars and restaurants as well as our local distilleries and non-alcoholic bottle shops. Few may know this world better than Beth McKibben, editor in chief and senior dining editor at Rough Draft Atlanta. Beth's expertise is invaluable as she continually explores our city's elevated beverage programs and examines the latest trends in mixology. She joins The City Lights Collective monthly for "The Beverage Beat," and this month, McKibben discusses what she calls "transitional cocktails," sips to savor during our fake-fall slash second summer season—also known as September in Atlanta.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode of The Broadband Bunch, host Brad Hine sits down with Drew Beverage, Chief Operating Officer of 360 Broadband, from the floor at Mountain Connect in Denver. Drew shares the story of 360 Broadband's evolution from a fixed wireless provider to a hybrid network operator bringing fiber to some of the most rural areas in Oklahoma and Texas. With 96 competitors in their expansive 12,000-square-mile footprint, Drew emphasizes that price is not their differentiator—customer experience is. The conversation explores how 360 Broadband is using innovative tools and AI-powered platforms like GoCare, QC.AI, Actifai, and Sonar to meet customers where they are, proactively communicate during outages, and personalize service at scale. Drew walks through the operational benefits of text-based support, intelligent call scoring, and AI-driven self-service sales that happen even after midnight—all backed by real-time data and seamless system integrations. Listeners will also hear Drew reflect on his personal journey from tower climber to telecom COO, his early days in the family business, and the leadership values that continue to guide his team today. With his trademark humility and wit, Drew offers insight into the changing broadband landscape, from BEAD funding complexities to the future of rural connectivity, and why an open ecosystem of best-in-class vendors is key to staying competitive.

By now, you've undoubtedly heard the business news that Keurig Dr Pepper entered into a definitive agreement to acquire JDE Peet's worldwide portfolio of beloved coffee brands. Under the terms of the agreement, KDP will purchase all outstanding ordinary shares of JDE Peet's…valuing the all-cash transaction at approximately $18.3 billion. And you might be thinking, “wow I didn't realize KDP was Mr. Money Bags,” especially after I mentioned in content recently that the almost $2 billion GHOST Lifestyle acquisition last year was its largest deal to date. But to understand what's really going on…it requires a history lesson that begins with Johann Adam Benckiser founding an industrial chemicals business in 1823. Though, the real business history nerds will recognize the initials of Johann Adam Benckiser for another reason. JAB Holding Company was formed in 2012, as a partner-led investment firm, with the consolidation of all business assets. During that early formation process, JAB Holding Company created the Coffee & Beverages Investment Platform via the take private transactions of Peet's Coffee and D.E Masterblenders. Then, a few years later…that investment platform expanded when it merged with the coffee division of Mondelez International (essentially creating the JDE portion of JDE Peet's). But in 2016, JAB Holding Company was involved in another coffee-related “take private transaction,” this time acquiring Keurig Green Mountain for $13.9 billion. Then, in 2018, Keurig Green Mountain acquired Dr Pepper Snapple Group for $18.7 billion…with JAB Holding Company owning (at the time) 73% of the combined Keurig Dr Pepper company. And while ownership percentages have fluctuated greatly over the years (especially on the KDP side), all roads still lead back to JAB Holding Company (even though you will see only a minor mention of it buried within the JDE Peet's transaction details section of the press release). So, what I'm saying is JAB Holding Company basically created both JDE Peet's and KDP…and thus, JAB Holding Company can essentially recreate JDE Peet's and KDP! After the M&A transaction closes, KDP plans to separate into two independent, U.S.-listed publicly traded companies…currently given generic “Global Coffee Co.” and “Beverage Co.” placeholder names. Yet, with a portfolio of iconic and emerging brands (generating more than $11 billion in annual net sales), a differentiated and expanding DSD distribution system, and a proven, capital-efficient “build, buy, partner” growth model, “Beverage Co.” will ACTUALLY not change much (at least initially). Instead, “Beverage Co.” will significantly improve due to sharper focused decision-making, tailored capital allocation strategies, and enhanced optionality overall. Essentially, the previous KDP “Refreshment Beverages” segment gets better through simplification. In just two short years, KDP went from getting its categorical ass whipped to controlling the most intriguing “active nutrition” brand portfolio by (1) acquiring a large stake in the maker of C4 Energy, (2) strategically partnering with Electrolit and Black Rifle Coffee, (3) acquiring GHOST, and (4) getting access to Bloom Nutrition through a proxy investment by Nutrabolt. But then, for the final part of my latest first principles content piece, I'll reconsider an element from my previous KDP “active nutrition” brand portfolio content…and examine possible new contagion effects from this separation announcement.
