The old and the new were both on full display at Brewbound’s Brew Talks meetup in Kansas City, Mo., which was held earlier this week at Boulevard Brewing Co. The event featured veteran beer executives from Boulevard and its primary wholesale partner, Central States Beverage Co., who were on hand to discuss the state of the industry, and along with them a pair of soon-to-launch brewery founders, who detailed their own plans to carve out a niche in the local marketplace.

The beer business has changed radically over the last five years and, while it’s impossible to know how the landscape will develop over the next five, one thing is certain: continued evolution is inevitable. To better understand how the beer segment could look in 2020, Brewbound has asked Simon Thorpe, the president of Duvel Moortgat USA, to share his view of the ever-evolving craft landscape at today's Brew Talks meetup, being held at Boulevard Brewing at 5:00 P.M.

Brewbound is excited to swing by Boulevard Brewing in Kansas City this upcoming Monday, May 18, to host the next installment of Brew Talks, our traveling meetup series for industry professionals. Today, Brewbound is pleased to announce that Jon Poteet, vice president of marketing at Central States Beverage Co., will also be the talk to offer his unique perspective on things from the middle tier.

Brewbound is pleased to announce that Brew Talks — a traveling meetup series for beer industry professionals — will make its next stop at Boulevard Brewing in Kansas City on May 18. Beer business professionals are invited to join the Kansas City meetup, being held inside of the Muehlebach Suite at the Boulevard Brewing’s production brewery (2501 Southwest Blvd, Kansas City, MO 64108).
