Podcasts about Boston Beer Company

Paul Weaver, Director of Cannabis at the Boston Beer Company, shared insights into the company's Canadian Cannabis Division and their new product, Emerald Hour, a line of non-alcoholic cannabis cocktails designed for experienced consumers seeking a full-spectrum, solventless experience. The product launch strategy, focusing initially on the Ontario market due to its regulatory landscape, was discussed, along with plans for US expansion. The conversation highlighted the growing trend of consumers, particularly younger generations, shifting away from alcohol and towards cannabis-infused beverages, a phenomenon sometimes referred to as "cali sober." This demographic shift is driving innovation in the cannabis beverage sector, with companies like Boston Beer Company adapting to these changing preferences. The discussion also touched upon the challenges and opportunities within the Canadian cannabis market, including regulatory hurdles and the growth of cannabis-infused beverages. The potential of cannabis beverages as a healthier alternative to alcohol, with faster onset times and better control over effects, was explored, along with the increasing awareness of the health risks associated with alcohol consumption. The conversation concluded with a discussion of the challenges of expanding cannabis products into the fragmented US market, the importance of scale, and the potential for significant growth in the cannabis beverage market over the next decade.Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Sam and Mariah Calagione started dating in high school, and have been on a wild ride ever since. Their biggest, craziest adventure? Founding Dogfish Head Brewery and forever changing the landscape of American craft beer. From the moment Sam started home-brewing in his NYC apartment, he infused his beer with unusual ingredients like cherries, maple syrup, roasted chicory, and licorice. When he and Mariah officially launched Dogfish Head in 1995, it was the smallest brewery in America's smallest state. 24 years (and countless pints) later, it was acquired by the Boston Beer Company for $300 million. Along the way, Sam and Mariah had one random experience after another: writing a bill to legalize their own brew-pub, winning best recipe at the Delaware Punkin Chunkin, and inviting Ricki Lake to their first tasting at Sam's apartment (spoiler alert: she showed up).This episode was produced by Alex Cheng with music composed by Ramtin Arablouei.

I'm putting a meme in the show notes. It's my second meme ever, so I'm clearly on a roll. As you can see, it's a picture of two kids taking a test; and the one kid is cheating off the other kid. It's a How to Do Spread Pricing test, and the kid with carrier has his eyes all over the PBM kid's test. For a full transcript of this episode, click here. If you enjoy this podcast, be sure to subscribe to the free weekly newsletter to be a member of the Relentless Tribe. Look, this is a thing now, medical spread. And similar to how PBM spreads adds up to millions, billions of dollars, medical spread is not change in the couch cushions. Did you see the lawsuit against Cigna? Cynthia Fisher mentions it in the conversation that follows. Spoiler alert, here's the numbers: Self-insured employer paid $4 million for a claim. In this case, there's a slide on this Cynthia Fisher gave me, by the way, if you want to see all this written out. So, the employer pays $4 million. The provider was paid—drumroll, please—$876,000. I'm pausing so that sinks in: $4 million paid by the employer; $876,000 of that makes it across the trench to the provider. What happened, you may be wondering, to the $3.2 million in the middle there that the self-insured employer wrote a check to their carrier for? If I'm the employer, I think I would sort of want to know where the $3.2 million went, because … yeah. I think anyone would be hard-pressed to explain how a prudent fiduciary is managing to pay millions of dollars of its plan members' money for services that actually cost a fraction of that. And this is just one claim. But you came here for a show about transparency. Why, you may be wondering, am I talking about medical spread pricing? It's not a super far leap, so many of you are probably there already; but let me quote Chris Deacon. She wrote, “As these conglomerates expand control over healthcare delivery and administration, radical transparency is our only bulwark. Patients and employers deserve to know exactly what they're paying for, without hidden fees disguised as care costs.” I don't think anyone would say that transparency alone is sufficient to transform healthcare, but it's definitely a start for sure. So, yeah … transparency. The reason why lawsuits about overpayments, big ones—and there's a bunch of them afoot right now, not just that Cigna one—but the reason that these are going down in the first place is because hospital prices and carrier prices are now somewhat available. And we have some plan sponsors—the ones who are worried about fiduciary duty, at least—these plan sponsors are able to cobble together the math to catch a glimpse of how much money is vanishing. Dollars they and their members are paying for medical claims that never make it to the care team providing the care. And who is shocked? Are you shocked? I'm not shocked. Let me read a sentence from a carrier contract that Justin Leader sent me the other day. Section 6.3: “Claim administrator's compensation for its services under the agreement shall include the difference between the net claim payments reimbursed to the claim administrator by the employer and the net amounts paid to providers by the claim administrator.” Translation: We are allowed to add spread pricing. We are able to arbitrage. We are able to mark up (or whatever you want to call it) by any amount we want, and you, plan sponsor, just signed up to pay for it. So, that happened. Listen to episode 433 with Justin Leader, by the way. The show is called “The Mystery of the Weekly Claims Wire,” otherwise known as the Not Transparent Weekly Claims Wire. So, look … transparency: We can talk about it in terms of medical prices. We can talk about transparency in terms of contracts. And actually also in terms of quality, but we don't get into that today. Bottom line, plan sponsors need enough access to billing data and hospital prices to calculate how much the middle folks are taking in spread, which is, as aforementioned, quite a thing. For more actual data on the magnitude of spread pricing goings-on, ask Dan Ross. That's my suggestion. He's got spreadsheets he can show you of how much plan sponsors are paying and how much providers are charging and how much is going missing in the middle. For even more on this, read the recent Owens & Minor lawsuit that just got filed, which is just a case study in how hard some of these middlemen/carrier entities are working to obscure and hide what they are doing. Because, yeah, sunshine is a great disinfectant, and that's what transparency is. Sunshine. Here's another interesting link from Chris Deacon. I say all this to say, this is the kind of transparency that Cynthia Fisher and I talk about in the show today: contract transparency, bill charges transparency, and hospital or medical price transparency for plan sponsors. We do not get into today consumers or patients using price information to shop, just FYI. We also do not get into, really, price convergence, which is what happens when hospital and carrier prices become available in a market and is often brought up on or about conversations about transparency. Okay, I will say just one thing about price convergence. There was some chatter in anti-transparency press releases from parties mostly that didn't want to be transparent at all, no way no how. But there was some talk a couple of years ago that if contracted prices became transparent, the healthcare industry would raise their prices to match the highest in the market and the result would be rising healthcare prices and greater total costs. That turns out, it seems, to be false. There's a study that shows that the bottom of the market (those with the cheapest prices) do, in fact, raise their prices but not as much as the top of the market lowers theirs. So, there is actually net savings. Read about the Turquoise Health study and an article that Forrest Xiao and team posted that shows this, and it's the first study of its kind, at least that I have seen. Okay, so contract transparency, data transparency, that's what's on deck to discuss today with Cynthia Fisher, as I have mentioned several times already, who has a long history as an entrepreneur in the healthcare space. So, Cynthia Fisher gets U.S. healthcare, and she gets being a plan sponsor and a fiduciary. She is founder and chairman of PatientRightsAdvocate.org, as well as Power to the Patients. Her focus is on ensuring that all healthcare shows prices up front so that we can have accountability and integrity in billing and at any point of care. Cynthia has said early and often that transparency protects the ultimate purchasers of healthcare—meaning plan sponsors, plan members, and patients—from overcharges, spread pricing, or otherwise. Where there's mystery, there is margin, as Anthony Ciaccia has said often. Cynthia's call to action is as follows, but listen to the show to hear her say it more eloquently. C-suites, CFOs, in-house counsel use purchasing discipline that your company probably uses elsewhere in the procurement of health benefits.  Cynthia Fisher also says as part of the call to action, refuse to sign blank checks to the healthcare industry and refuse anti-audit provisions. She also has a call to action for the accounting industry to stop ignoring auditing the health plans. And this matters just given the bald-faced fact right now that overcharges are party sized. Let me wrap up with this: There's a lot of brute force tactics out there being deployed by some plan sponsors that effectively keep plan members from getting the care they need because they are functionally uninsured. I've done multiple shows on this, and I link to some of them below. I just can't help to think, some of this brute force, you know, high-deductible health plans and some pretty savage cost containment strategies, might be unnecessary if middleman excess profits were eliminated. Well, I say this with some evidence, actually. Andreas Mang (EP419) was on the pod. He talked about saving 15% or more by being smart about contracts and plan assets at the financial and purchasing level. Brian Uhlig … was talking to him the other day. He was telling me he saved $80 million just doing contracts right. Also Claire Brockbank (EP453) talks about this; Cora Opsahl (EP452), too, from 32BJ. Those are two recent shows, again, about how much money can be saved by only signing contracts that ensure transparency. Also mentioned in this episode are Patient Rights Advocate, Chris Deacon, Justin Leader, Dan Ross, Forrest Xiao, Anthony Ciaccia, Andreas Mang, Brian Uhlig, Claire Brockbank, Cora Opsahl, Mark Cuban, and Mark Cuban Cost Plus Drug Company.   You can learn more at PatientRightsAdvocate.org.    Cynthia A. Fisher is founder and chairman of PatientRightsAdvocate.org, a nonprofit organization seeking healthcare price transparency, giving power to American consumers—patients, employers, and unions—to lower their costs of care and coverage through a functional marketplace and choice. Cynthia is best known for her pioneering work as founder and CEO of ViaCord, Inc., a leading price-transparent umbilical cord blood stem cell banking company which she started in 1993. In 2000, she co-founded and was president of the cellular medicines company ViaCell, Inc., of which ViaCord became a division. ViaCell went public in 2005, was acquired by PerkinElmer, and exists today under the ViaCord brand. Cynthia also serves on the public company boards of the Boston Beer Company, Inc. and Easterly Government Properties, Inc.

The Boston Beer Company recently released its Q1 2024 earnings report, providing investors a comprehensive view of the company's current performance and direction. Newly appointed CEO, Michael Spillane, made clear his commitment to implement the company's long-term growth strategy during the earnings call. "And I'm delighted to have on the call today Michael Spillane, who formally joined as our CEO earlier this month. Michael's strong operational experience in consumer products and his long history with our company make him the ideal choice to continue the implementation of our strategy to return to long-term growth," he stated. It is evident that leveraging Spillane's extensive experience will be a critical part of the company's approach moving forward.Despite consistent sales volume represented by steady depletions, the Boston Beer Company observed increased revenue in Q1 2024. This suggests that the company's strategic pricing method may have contributed to a rise in sales revenue—an indication of their commitment to enhancing profitability.Noteworthy is the remarkable Q1 performance of the company's core brand, Twisted Tea, which saw significant growth in dollar sales—an evidence of the company's well-calibrated marketing strategies and product positioning. Further, the Boston Beer Company has shown adaptation to market shifts with ventures into the 'Beyond Beer' category, deploying innovative products such as Twisted Tea Light, Twisted Tea Extreme, and Sun Cruiser vodka-based tea.Despite turbulence in the hard seltzer market, the company maintains a steady 20% market share with its Truly brand. This, along with strategic efforts to bolster Truly's performance, is a testament to the company's determination to fortify its market presence. It also signals growth potential in the non-alcoholic sector, as witnessed by a 52% increase in dollar sales for Sam Adams' non-alcoholic line in Q1.Adding further perspective on his vision, Spillane underscored the opportunity for growth and stated, "I see a lot of opportunity in both beer, Dogfish, Angry Orchard. We look to stabilize Truly and get back to growth there, and then continue to drive Twisted Tea." This reflects the company's intent to utilize its entire portfolio to ensure well-rounded growth.Innovation and operational efficiency remain at the core of the Boston Beer Company's approach as it seeks to maintain its competitive advantage. The company has earmarked substantial investments for its core brands and product innovation—an important step towards remaining market-relevant and appealing to consumers. The company's intended enhancements in supply chain optimization and production network efficiency could result in cost savings and more efficient operations. With planned capital expenditure directed towards capacity expansion, improvement in efficiencies, and capability growth, the company is evidently building a strong foundation for long-term growth.In conclusion, the Boston Beer Company's steady state of depletions reflects a period of stabilization. However, their financial performance and strategic initiatives portray a narrative of resilience and strategic foresight. Through focusing on margin enhancement, nurturing growth of their core brands, staying in tune with consumer trends, and maintaining innovation and operational efficiency, the company has demonstrated a realistic yet robust approach to securing long-term success.

Joining Taplines today is Ryan Burk, the former head cider maker of Angry Orchard Hard Cider. These days, he's making cider under his own label in upstate New York, working as a co-founder of the beverage innovation firm Feel Goods Company, and serving the Cider Institute of North America as a founding board member. But midway through last decade, Ryan was working at Michigan's Virtue Cider when Boston Beer Company tapped him to lead production on its in-house hard cider brand, which was then making one out of every two barrels of cider sold in the US. Angry Orchard's legacy in the category is contentious: is it a vital gateway that led to broader hard cider acceptance, or a millstone holding back what cider could be in the American drinking imagination? Both? Neither? Listen on, listener. Don't forget to like, review, and subscribe! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

As the founder of the Boston Beer Company - makers of Sam Adams and many other brands - Jim Koch was an early pioneer in the craft brewing industry. Not one to mince words, his father's reaction to the news that his son was starting a brewery was rather blunt. However Jim's father was also a fifth generation brewer whose advice would be critical to the success of the Boston Beer Company. This is part 1 of a 3 part interview with Boston Beer Company founder Jim Koch. 

“The ethnic cleansing,” is how top executives at Anheuser-Busch described their effort to destroy Sam Adams, Jim Koch, and the nascent craft beer industry in the 1990s. The efforts of Anheuser-Busch, makers of Budweiser and Bud Light among many (MANY) other brands, led to 8 long years of negative growth for craft beer in the United States. This is part 2 of a 3 part interview with Boston Beer Company founder Jim Koch.  

Jim Koch's impact on the beer industry goes way beyond being a craft brewing pioneer. For example, when a variety of German noble hops was on the verge of extinction due to wilt, Jim Koch spearheaded the effort to save them. When a global hop shortage threatened to extinguish the craft beer industry, Jim Koch sold tons of his hop reserves to craft breweries in order to keep them alive. This is part 3 of a 3 part interview with Boston Beer Company founder Jim Koch.

While smokable flowers, edibles, and vapes lead legal cannabis sales, THC-infused beverages are projected to become a major market segment. For now, they account for slightly more than one percent of total cannabis sales, but “beverages are growing and trending up” according to market intelligence firm Headset, and the category is becoming more sophisticated. Montel talks with Paul Weaver, Head of Cannabis for the Boston Beer Company on this episode of Let's Be Blunt. In 2021, The Boston Beer Company, the name behind some of Americas favorite brands such as Samuel Adams, Twisted Tea and Angry Orchard, threw its hat in the ring and established a Canadian subsidiary to research and develop THC beverages in advance of future US legalization.

AB InBev has GHOST Energy. Molson Coors has ZOA Energy. Heck…Monster Energy acquired CANarchy craft brewing collective. And now the third-largest craft brewer in America, Sierra Nevada Brewing, has acquired a minority stake in the better-for-you energy drinks brand RIOT Energy. If you haven't picked up on it…brewing companies are targeting pockets of beverage industry growth potential to replace the “beer occasions” that aren't as prevalent anymore. The aptly named “Beyond Beer” strategy has ushered in a new era of category convergence. Well…Sierra Nevada Brewing seems committed long-term to diversification, because this RIOT Energy investment also accompanies the buildout of a massive “CanDo Innovation Centre” that will produce and package products outside of conventional beer. This all makes me wonder though…when will major players like Constellation Brands, Heineken, and Boston Beer Company make a play into the energy drink space?

Join me as we take a deep dive into the world of craft beer and explore its explosive growth over the past few decades. As someone who has always been drawn to the art of brewing, I talk about how some friends and I decided to take the plunge and start our own brewery. It was a dream that we had been pursuing for years.But first…We'll start by looking back at the history of American beer and how it was nearly decimated by Prohibition and WWII. But thanks to key events like Fritz Maytag's purchase of Anchor Brewing, the legalization of home brewing by Jimmy Carter, and the founding of the Sierra Nevada and Boston Beer Company, craft beer began to make a comeback.Today, the craft beer industry is thriving with over 7000 breweries in the U.S. alone producing and shipping roughly 200 million barrels of beer per year. And while much of the recent growth can be attributed to the reopening of restaurants and bars post-Covid, the trend towards craft beer has been steadily increasing for the past decade.We'll also take a look at the global beer market, which is expected to grow to $1.25 trillion by 2030 with a 7% growth rate. Younger drinkers are driving the surge in demand for craft beer, seeking out a variety of styles and taste profiles.If you're interested in getting into the craft beer industry, there are a number of different paths to consider, each with its own unique advantages and challenges.

This episode is about working for fun, love, and legacy. Peter Gladstone is the Co-founder of Mass Hole Donuts, bakers of gourmet donut holes that celebrate the people, traditions, and spirit of Boston and Massachusetts. After 20 years in consumer marketing with companies like Gillette, P&G, and the Boston Beer Company (aka, Sam Adams), Peter retired and is now building Mass Holes because, he says, it's fun, and he wants to contribute to the culture of his hometown. When he's not establishing his Boston institutions, he is a Senior Advisor at the Harvard Innovation Labs where he advises consumer-facing ventures. Peter and I (Paul, host of show and writer of notes) were classmates at Dartmouth's Tuck School of Business. That is where I developed my appreciation for his creative mind and wacky and wicked good sense of humor. We talk about the difference between working to pay your bills and working on a passion project, the role of humor in the corporate world, how he and his team survived pandemic, and how he defines success now that he has “enough.”  ✍

Sam and Mariah Calagione started dating in high school, and have been on a wild ride ever since. Their biggest, craziest adventure? Founding Dogfish Head Brewery and forever changing the landscape of American craft beer. From the moment Sam started home-brewing in his NYC apartment, he infused his beer with unusual ingredients like cherries, maple syrup, roasted chicory, and licorice. When he and Mariah officially launched Dogfish Head in 1995, it was the smallest brewery in America's smallest state. 24 years (and countless pints) later, it was acquired by the Boston Beer Company for $300 million. Along the way, Sam and Mariah had one random experience after another: writing a bill to legalize their own brew-pub, winning best recipe at the Delaware Punkin Chunkin, and inviting Ricki Lake to their first tasting at Sam's apartment (spoiler alert: she showed up).See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
