We sit down with our dear friend Doug Veliky, CFO at Revolution Brewing, and creator of BeerCrunchers.com and @beerafficianado to recap the crazy craft beer year 2019. In part one of our recap, we discuss the following: - Reintroduction to Doug. - Doug's Children's charity. - Framing up the biggest topics of 2019. - Regional breweries adding seltzer. - Naturdays and the Natural Light Brand. - Milkshake IPAs. - Shelf stable hazies. - ABI's moves for the year. - Beer influencers.
