Strategic Buyers Financial Buyers
Consumers continue to be a key source of economic strength during the year, a trend supported by strong consumer indica-tors in 2Q and 3Q19, as consumer spending comprised a majori-ty portion of overall GDP growth. (Federal Reserve Economic Data)
Economists expect consumer fundamentals, including gains in employment and income to remain strong n 2020. Even still, while U.S. households have been the main driver of economic growth, global growth has weakened and manufacturing and business investment have fallen, which indicate that a drop in consumer spending could leave the economy vulnerable.
Despite competing economic indicators, consumer M&A vol-ume remained strong and is up 5% through the first three quar-ters of 2019 compared to the same period in 2018.
The latest round of interest rate cuts from the Federal Reserve make capital a cheap resource in the marketplace, and while this may cause speculation that economic contraction is on the horizon, it continues to enable cheap financing to fund acquisi-tions. Furthermore, increased transaction volume coupled with a continuation of strong consumer economic trends posits that consumer firms will continue to explore M&A activity as a source of above-average growth.
Although M&A activity has been driven by strategic acquirers, new fund raising rounds and record levels of dry powder at pri-vate equity firms and family offices will keep financial buyers motivated to pursue new platform investments and add-on ac-quisitions.

• Montanya Distillers, LLC
• Durham Distillery, LLC
• Nelson's Green Brier Distillery, LLC
The wine and spirits sub-sector experienced robust deal flow
involving primarily large strategic buyers during 2Q19 and
3Q19. Innovation within the spirits segment, including craft spir-
its, canned cocktails, and craft mixers helped to drive M&A ac-
tivity in the spirits and liquors sub-sector.
Buyers in this sub-sector continue to utilize M&A as a means to
drive above-average growth, and are actively looking to add
unique craft spirits brands to their portfolios. This trend is ex-
pected to continue through 1H2020, as buyers aggressively
compete for market share. Strategic buyers such as Pernod Ri-
card and Constellation Brands continue to remain active acquir-
ers in the spirits and liquors sub-sector.
Pernod Ricard acquired Firestone & Robertson Distilling Compa-
ny and Rabbit Hole Spirits to complement its existing portfolio
of small-batch, local whiskey and bourbon spirits, while its ac-
quisition of Castle Brands (including Brady’s Irish Cream and
Goslings Rum) complement its portfolio of international strate-
gic brands.
Constellation Brands acquired Montanya Distillers, a Crested
Butte, CO based producer of craft rum while Constellation's
venture arm acquired Durham Distillery, a NC based distillery of
craft spirits and canned cocktails, and Nelson’s Green Brier Dis-
tillery, a Nashville, TN producer of craft whiskey. Pernod Ricard
and Constellation Brands are expected to continue to be active
acquirers in the space.
One notable trend within the subsector was the acquisition of
canned cocktail producers by major brewers and regional beer
companies, including AB InBev’s acquisition of Cutwater Spirits;
and Buoy Beer Company’s acquisition of Pilot House Distilling.
The M&A outlook in 2020 in the spirits and liquors sub-sector is
expected to remain strong. A significant portion of M&A activity
is expected to continue to come from strategic buyers seeking
unique and craft brands to add to their portfolios.

Active Beer and Craft Beverage Buyers
• Craft Brew Alliance (NasdaqGS: BREW)
• Platform Beer Co.
Date of Investment Select Strategic Buyers Acquisition Activity
• Off-Centered Way LLC (Dogfish Head Brewery)
Increased competition from the boom in craft breweries, which
has doubled to 7,450 over the past five years, coupled with de-
clining beer volume in the U.S. from changing consumer trends
has placed renewed pressure of beer and craft beer producers
in the U.S.
Operating on thin margins and high financing costs, craft brew-
eries face intense pressure, especially given their competition in
a highly fragmented industry controlled by oligopolies like AB
InBev. And while overall U.S. beer volume has declined, the
market share for craft beer increased only 4.8% over the past
five years, a small increase considering the entrance of thou-
sands of new competitors to the market. (Inc.com)
This pressure was most notable with the acquisition of New Bel-
gium Brewing Company, the fourth-largest U.S. craft beer com-
pany in 2018, by Lion Little World Beverage (owned by Japan’s
Kirin Holdings Co.). According to MarketWatch.com, “New Bel-
gium was struggling to stay independent at such a large scale,
amid intense competition from a new generation of craft brew-
eries that has doubled the total of such businesses in just four
years and was struggling to meet cash demands of the ESOP
and selling stockholders while expanding the business both in
production and branding."
Another notable acquisition includes the $300mm acquisition of
Off-Centered Way LLC (dba Dogfish Head Brewery) by The Bos-
ton Beer Company. The combination of the second and thir-
teenth largest craft brewers in the country are expected to carry
major impacts in the industry. According to a press release, the
merger “creates a powerful American owned platform for craft
beer and beyond”. Boston Beer CEO Dave Burwick said (via the
release) “It is expected that we’ll see more consolidation in the
craft industry over time, and we’ll be in the best position to take
advantage of those changes.”
Meanwhile, AB InBev purchased Platform Beer Co. and an-
nounced that they will purchase the remaining 69% share of
Craft Beer Alliance for $221mm.
Increased consolidation among craft breweries is expected to
continue as beer continues to lose market share to liquors, craft
spirits and spiked seltzer drinks.

What We are Reading:
The Future of Packaging (McKinsey & Company, October 2019)
The three key roles of packaging: protecting, promoting, and performing have defined the evolution of packaging over the past 15 years
and will continue to define the future of the industry, with a particular focus on performance. Sustainability in the form of paper-based
packaging made from renewable and recyclable sources are increasingly demanded by consumers, who also appreciate less material and
promote sustainability. Technological performance, such as getting information about products by scanning labels is continuing to evolve.
McKinsey experts predict tomorrow’s packaging to be smart, personalized and reusable. Moreover, tomorrow’s packaging may address
concerns with many of today’s food, healthcare, and personal care packaged products like spoilage, authenticity, and origin. Personalization
in digital print is being tested, such as placing a personalized name on a product, while smart packaging—like scanning a label that tells you
how to make a recipe and other needed ingredients. Smart bottles and edible boxes such as algae or protein-based boxes may be another
realm of innovation.
To capture and maintain market share, today’s packaging companies need to establish closer partnerships with brand owners, like retailers,
upstream recyclers, and downstream customers (like-retailers) will be critical to understanding how innovations in packaging will impact
the entire value chain. Proactiveness in asking for what consumers seek in packaging versus waiting for consumers to come forward with a
request will be an opportunity to provide value-added solutions while maintaining engagement and creating innovation in a value-chain.
Red vs Blue Economy (Wall Street Journal 11/25/19; Richard Curtin, 9/12/18)
The University of Michigan’s consumer sentiment survey, long-held as an accurate stalwart amongst leading economic indicators, has be-
come increasingly divided by political affiliation. Since President Trump’s inauguration, Republican’s have had overwhelmingly bullish ex-
pectations of economic growth, while Democrats have remained much more pessimistic. This stark divide calls into question the reliability
of the survey as participants show more responsiveness to political developments rather than economic developments.
Discount & Convenience Stores Lead Retail Sales Growth (Supermarket News, 10/18/19)
Citing consumer preference for speed and value over selection, analysis suggests that discount and convenience stores will outpace the rest
of the food, drug and mass retail channel in offline sales growth. Food discount stores like Aldi and Lidl, which are simpler to shop, are ex-
pected to grow at a 5.3% CAGR to $54 billion in sales in 2024 from $42 billion in 2019. Nonfood discounters like dollar chain stores are ex-
pected to grow at a 5% CAGR from $66 billion in 2019 to $84 billion in 2024, while convenience stores are expected to grow at a 5.4% CAGR
from $30 billion to $39 billion. The increasing emphasis on low cost and convenience mirrors the same trends that made online shopping so
popular (data from Edge by Ascential).
Six Red Flags When Vetting a Co-Packer (New Hope Network, 10/4/19)
According to the New Hope Network, there are six red flags to look for when selecting a co-packer and manufacturing partner. Specifically,
those red flags are (1) Eagerness to work without a contract, (2) a lack of expertise in your specific category, (3) demand for equity, (4) de-
mand for IP, (5) extraneous hidden fees, and (6) being too large or too small a percent of their business.
FDA Issues Warning Over CBD Use in Food (Just-Food, 11/27/19)
The FDA released a new consumer guidance document on CBD that raises significant concerns about the CBD industry, issuing warning
letters and an explicit position that CBD is a drug and is illegal for use in foods, beverages, supplements and animal products. Further, the
government office has warned that it cannot guarantee that the use of CBD in food products is safe, and has sent letters to 15 companies
for illegally selling such products that directly violate the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act.
“This is a significant, concerted and highly orchestrated effort by FDA to put the brakes on the CBD market,” said Loren Israelsen, President
of the United Natural Products Alliance and a veteran of FDA and congressional affairs. The agency stated that it wants to be clear that they
have seen only limited data about CBD’s safety and these data point to real risks that need to be considered (New Hope Network).
Laura MacCleery, policy director at US consumer watchdog The Center for Science in the Public Interest believes “if the hemp industry
wants CBD to be legal in foods or supplements, it will need to affirmatively convince the FDA that it is safe. And as of now, given the gaps in
research noted by the FDA, CBD makers have an uphill battle on their hands.”

What We are Reading: Deep Dive on Plant-Based Meats
“Flexitarian” Segment Drives Demand for Plant-Based Meat
A growing number of the U.S. population are considered “flexitarians”, defined as those who normally consumes a meatless diet but occa-
sionally consumes meat or fish. Approximately one-third of the U.S. population identifies as flexitarian compared to 7% who are vegetarian
or vegan. A number of plant-based specialists are targeting the growing number of flexitarians. In fact, according to the Good Food Insti-
tute, “93% of consumers in conventional grocery stores that are buying a Beyond Meat product are also putting animal meat in their bas-
ket” (What’s NEXT In Natural, 7/26/19; Data from the Good Foods Institute).
According to SmartBrief, plant-based meat purchasing is happening in a cultural atmosphere that is distinctly different from the sustainabil-
ity-driven vegetarianism of the 1970’s: Less than half of plant-based purchasers today (41%) think of themselves as people who are limiting
meat in their diet, and one in five actually describe themselves as carnivores. Only 12% of plant-based meat purchasers describe them-
selves as consciously vegetarians, while 41% of them describe their eating styles as “omnivore.” The rise in the flexitarian / omnivore cate-
gory leads to the conclusion that the growth in consumption of meat and dairy alternatives is not being driven by eradicating animal prod-
ucts from diet based on moral principles (distinguishing it from the hardline vegetarianism of past decades), but from a broad base of con-
sumers seeking a diversified diet (SmartBrief, 9/25/19).
Impossible Foods, the company behind the Impossible Burger being rolled out nationwide in the U.S. through Burger King, recently estab-
lished a manufacturing contract with OSI Group, one of the world’s largest meat processors. Although some skeptics believe this relation-
ship might push some uncompromising vegetarian or vegan consumers to steer clear of a plant-based burger made with OSI, the relation-
ship lends credit to the trend for plant-based meat producers to target the flexitarian segment of the market (Just-Food, 8/2/19).
Three Dynamic Trends Driving Demand for Plant-Based Meats (Smart Brief, 9/25/19)
Health and wellness, sustainability, and culinary engagement are all cited by SmartBrief as drivers behind meat analogs in today’s food cul-
ture.
Consumers expressing greater interest in enhanced mind and body functionality are replacing refined carbohydrates with a wide range of
proteins and fat-rich foods. At the same time, consumers expressing concerns with the health impacts of industrially processed red meats
and the use of antibiotics and hormones are seeking a greater diversity of nutrient sources in their diets.
Today’s consumers also show a growing awareness of the ecological impacts of meat-eating coupled with the desire to promote animal
welfare. A 2017 Sustainability report by SmartBrief shows that 71% of consumers say that when making purchase decisions, “It is important
that companies avoid inhumane treatment of animals.”
Finally, as consumers broaden their culinary engagement through new food and beverage experiences, meat substitutes are proving fertile
territory for experimentation and novelty in consumer diets. Culinary engagement creates greater exposure to and interest in vegetable-
focused cuisines and traditions.
Potential for Consumer Pushback (Specialty Foods Association, 11/19/19)
Specialty Foods Association predicts a pushback for meat replacements in 2020, predicting “consumers will begin to think critically about
meat replacements, looking more closely at the ingredient lists, supply chains, water usage, and food safety, prompting renewed interest in
plants as plants, according to the panel.” Despite this prediction, SFA believes that growth will continue across the segment, followed by a
return to real fruits and vegetables.
Forecasts for Continued Growth
Restaurant sales of meat alternatives have risen 268% year-over-year (2019/2018) compared to just 21.66% in 2018/2017 (Dining Alliance).
According to experts at UBS, plant-based protein and meat alternatives could grow to $85 billion in 2030 from just $4.6 billion in 2018. UBS
said that their estimates could be conservative if innovation and consumer awareness drive increased consumption (Food Dive, 7/22/19).
