In this conversation with
Distilled Spirits Council President and CEO Chris
Swonger, some of the topics we discuss include:
What
DISCUS does as a lobbying organization and why storytelling is so
important when it comes to capturing the attention of
policymakers.
How
seemingly unrelated forces like steel imports, fighter jets, and
trade wars have a direct impact on the sticker price of our
favorite Scotches and Liqueurs and how much bourbon leaves the
United States.
What
distillers and bartenders have been doing on the front lines to
keep people safe and well stocked during the COVID-19 shelter in
place crisis and how the 3 tier system is adapting to the new
constraints imposed by the pandemic.
Some
of the great strides being made by Spirits United - a platform
where home enthusiasts and industry professionals can all come
together to support their favorite beverages and the people who
make them.
Which
emerging trends to keep your eye on as the booze market recovers
from the Coronavirus with extreme innovation.
What
to drink with Winston Churchill and MMatthew
McConaughey
And
much, much more
