Funky Buddha Brewery

Constellation Brands is exiting the craft beer business. Constellation, which has found success with Mexican import brands Modelo, Corona and Pacifico, said it will divest of its craft and specialty division to refocus its efforts on its core brands. As such, Funky Buddha Brewery in Florida and Four Corners Brewing Co. in Texas will return to their respective original founders.

Florida’s craft brewery, Funky Buddha, is excited to announce its bold new branding that “radiates funk” more than ever before.

The first major beer drinking occasion of the year is less than a week away as nearly 100 million viewers are expected to tune into Super Bowl LV between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on February 7. How big is the Super Bowl for the industry? “It is still a big deal for Q1 volumes and is a big jump compared to other weeks in Q1,” National Beer Wholesalers Association chief economist Lester Jones said.

The biggest challenge the producer of popular Mexican import brands Corona, Modelo and Pacifico faced in 2020 came in March when the Mexican government ordered the shutdown of all manufacturing industries, including beer. This pause in production led to depleted inventory that was still being replenished into the third quarter and created a gap between shipments (sales to wholesalers) and depletions (sales to retailers) growth.

Florida’s craft brewery, Funky Buddha, is making a splash with their Funky Buddha Premium Hard Seltzer (4.5% ABV) product line entering the popular fast-growing hard seltzer market. With an unbeatable focus on flavor and quality ingredients, Funky Buddha’s new Premium Hard Seltzers are available in four vibrant, natural flavors: Tropical Mango Guava, Lush Key Lime Cherry, Juicy Blood Orange, and Crisp Pink Grapefruit.

On the same day that it announced a $4 billion investment into Canada’s Canopy Growth Corporation, Constellation Brands also laid off dozens of employees tasked with selling the company’s craft and specialty beers throughout the U.S. Constellation — whose craft portfolio includes Ballast Point in California, Funky Buddha in Florida and Four Corners Brewery in Texas as well as Mexican import brands Corona, Modelo and Pacifico — terminated around 60 of its 100 or so craft and specialty reps, a source familiar with the situation told Brewbound.
