We are thrilled to announce a special two-part episode of the Distillery Nation Podcast featuring Mark Beres, the President and CEO of Flying Leap Vineyards and Distillery.
In part one of our discussion, Mark and I explore the significant challenges distillery owners face today. With production costs soaring, access to capital becoming increasingly restricted, rapid market growth presenting both opportunities and hurdles, and consumer behavior constantly evolving, the landscape for craft spirits is more dynamic than ever. Mark shares his valuable insights on how distillery owners can navigate these complex issues to sustain and grow their businesses.
High production costs are a major concern, affecting everything from raw materials to logistics. Access to capital is another critical issue, with funding becoming harder to secure.
The rapid market growth in the craft spirits sector is a double-edged sword. While it opens up new opportunities, it also intensifies competition and reduces distribution options. Mark provides his perspective on staying ahead of the curve and making the most of this growth. Lastly, we examine the shifts in consumer behavior and how distilleries can adapt to meet changing preferences and expectations.
