What's Trending— Tracking Spirits in the Modern M&A Market
From the start of the 2020s, beverage alcohol's merger and acquisition sector has proved to be a dynamic lens through which the wider spirits market can be evaluated. The last four years have seen the M&A market go through phases of high growth, diversification, and contraction.
At this year's American Craft Spirits Association Convention in Denver, Emmett Strack was joined by a group of experts within the M&A landscape to discuss the ebbs and flows of investment activity in recent years. The group offers insight into the market conditions, performing categories, and underlying consumer behavior driving investor decision-making in 2024.
The conversation gives a unique window into the criteria brands need to satisfy for strategic acquirers to consider making an investment. It examines Black Button Distilling's journey of initial investment and subsequent divestiture by Constellation Brands.
Featured Guests:
- Kevin O'Brien, Managing Director, BMO Capital Markets
- Ryan Lake, Managing Director, Arlington Capital Advisors
- Jason Barrett, CEO & Master Distiller, Black Button Distilling
