Following a two-week period that saw five beverage brands collectively add nearly $60 million in new funding, BevNET reporter Brad Avery joined the Taste Radio team for a discussion about each deal and how the companies are planning to deploy the capital. They also spoke about the increasing prevalence of food and beverage conglomerates internally developing on-trend concepts while taking branding and design cues from entrepreneurial companies. And with the launch of Expo West 2022 just 10 days away, the hosts urged attendees and exhibitors to share news about their plans for the event with BevNET and NOSH.
