The Australian Craft Beverage Movement – Reshaping the F&B Landscape

The craft beverage movement has been building significant momentum over the past 10 years and has subsequently reshaped the liquor industry as we know it.

Five Food & Hospitality Trends for a Post-Lockdown World

Prior to the pandemic, many people predicted food trends such as a rising interest in meat alternatives, low or no-alcohol beverages and sustainability-driven purchasing behaviours amongst many others. In a little under six months, the entire industry has been tipped on its head due to COVID-19.

The pandemic has been a catalyst for change in the food and hospitality industry. For many it has been a tremendously difficult period, however we are starting to emerge from the lockdown period, and tentatively look towards the future.
