Pabst Brewing has taken one of its flavored malt beverage (FMB) brands national -- just one of its several beyond beer innovation expansion plans for 2024.

The FMB was created as part of Pabst’s joint venture with Brown Forman. It's 5.9% ABV and comes in four flavors – Lime Margarita, Grapefruit Paloma, Orange Sunrise and Pina Coconut. 

Pabst CEO Paul Chibe talked to Brewbound about the brand, as well as Pabst's other innovation plans for the year, including new products and another brand's distribution expansion.

One of the biggest obstacles to breaking into widespread distribution for non-alcoholic (NA) alternative beverages is education.

One certification program is tackling this challenge to the NA and THC beverage industries head-on, targeting on-premise purveyors, distributors and retailers with the goal of uplifting these new categories into mainstream availability.

Uncle Nearest's CEO and founder Fawn Weaver is one step closer to her goal of building the first spirits conglomerate in America founded by a woman or person of color.
