The beer industry is in a state of flux, and the COVID-19 pandemic has affected this change like all around it.
Recent months have proven to be a tumultuous period not only for the brewing industry, but the global economy.
But let’s not forget that beer is not a new invention. It has seen, and overcome, its fair share of problems, hurdles and challenges over the millennia.
Wars, disasters and times of prohibition have been swept aside. Beer and the fantastic industry responsible for its production isn’t going anywhere, that’s for sure.
Brewers, suppliers, retailers, wholesalers and distributors continue to adapt to the economic impacts of the global COVID-19 pandemic, the rest of the value chain is also pivoting and navigating in real time.
Next week, the Brewers Lectures goes virtual to discuss the beer industry’s response to COVID-19 and the road ahead.
Join us online from 14:00-15:30 on Thursday 25th June for a live event that provides beer professionals with the opportunity to engage in honest conversations about the state of the beer industry.
Hosted by the award-winning Melissa Cole, we’ll discuss how companies across the sector have navigated the unprecedented nature of business in recent months and, going forward, what we can be doing to sustain and thrive throughout 2020 and beyond.
