Tilray Brands, Inc.’s Post

On behalf of the Master Brewers Association of the Americas (MBAA) I am pleased to announce (over three posts due to character limitations) the first two volumes of a five volume series titled The Inspiring History and Legacies of American Lager Beer are now in production for release in April and July, respectively. Authored by myself, with John Palmer as Editor and Ken Grossman and Richard L. Yuengling Jr. providing series forewords, reaching this milestone after a 16 year long journey is frankly a rather emotional moment in my life, one I never took for granted would ever become a reality – not in terms of units of years but decades. There are so, so, SO many people, who without their talents, support, encouragement and mentoring, this series would ever have seen the light of day. It is why the Acknowledgements section at the end of each volume (consciously provided the epigraph of E Pluribus Unum) is nine pages in length.  The attachment to this post depicts the front covers of these first two volumes. In terms of the proverbial icing on the cake, it is a great honor for this naturalized citizen who as a Canuck, in 1987, first stepped foot in the United States on a very hot and humid summer day in Saint Louis, Missouri to have Ken Grossman and Richard L. Yuengling both graciously pen independent, yet I find, united perspectives as first and sixth-generation American brewers, respectively. Wrote Ken Grossman, the series in his eyes is “unlike anything else ever written on our industry” that it “will stand the testament of time” and “is both a fascinating historical journey into a product that has deep roots in many of our daily lives and the foundation of our country, and the telling of an often-misunderstood story on how the world's most accepted style of beer evolved out of need and necessity". Complimenting these comments. Richard L. Yuengling Jr. wrote in his foreword  how our nation’s brewing heritage and traditions reflects “two American beer revolutions, the birth of adjunct lager brewing in the late 1800’s and the craft brewing renaissance of the 1980’s”. With statements such as these from two industry icons, it's not hard to imagine why their words and tangible support, especially at this stage of my life, touched my soul in a very joyous way. End of Part 1 of 3

A productive week spent at the Brewers Association CBC in Vegas, meeting suppliers, brewers, and event organizers. Massive thanks to the Brewers Association and Konvoy for their support. Excited to share that there are lots of BD opportunities for We Are Beer down the line. Looking forward to a productive summer working with both organizations over here in the UK. Despite the challenges that the industry is facing globally, leaving Las Vegas feeling pretty positive. Why? ➡ Because the topline trading numbers are decent and people still want premium. The raw material for commercial success is there. ➡ Because the craft and indy sector is where the vast majority of "new" in beer starts, and where the creative capital lies - both brands and products. ➡ Because we're entering into a new phase for good beer and we haven't really seen the sector make its move post-covid. Knowing and meeting the hard working and smart people in beer, and seeing some of the plans and strategies coming into play, I think you'll see good beer kick on again. Which is great for the whole category. Excited to get stuck in.

Yesterday’s Wine will set the mood just right with their fantastic sound.

So come early, soak up the Grape Jam vibes, and get ready to wine down (pun intended)! Why should you attend? Well, I've come up with ten reasons why Grape Jam is a can't-miss event: 1.

Quinn Davis Davis Motorsports is bringing their Unstoppable Super Truck to the party because who doesn't love a little speed with their wine tasting? The team is gearing up for the Battle of Broadway 150 at Nashville Fairgrounds Speedway on Thursday, June 27th, where she will compete with top NASCAR drivers like Josh Berry and Ross Chastain, to name a few. And if that wasn't enough, the one and only Ms. Unstoppable herself, Megan Ferrell, will be stopping by to add some extra flair to the festivities. #thankful #grateful #unstoppable #unstoppablewomen #harvesthosts #beanscreekwinery #creekside #newreleases #winecocktails #teamwork #summersip #NASCAR #battleofbroadway150 #Ally400 #TennesseeLottery250 #rackleyroofing200

It's Fieldays week! If you can squeeze in the time, then I encourage you all to visit. I have a deep connection (past Board member, Innovations judge - and more...). But regardless of the past, I get such a kick out visiting each year. First, seeing this years' innovations - the gift that keeps growing (puns always intended). Clever people and technology adding value to NZInc. As a patent attorney it is particularly gratifying to see the commercial version of what you first came across as a raw concept, and as an IP strategist, it is such a pleasure to see how inventors and companies position themselves. Next, I am reminded how we are all interconnected in the Agritech space and how it underpins NZ's economic fabric. We all depend upon and support each other. Last - mussel fritters! Need I say more... See you there.
