Tapping into Creative Beer Promotions
By Thomas Henry Strenk
Beer events aren’t necessarily about making a killing on money: Some just get to get people in and have a good time. The payback is that many customers will enjoy a featured flight, and then stick around for a few more beers and dinner.

½ oz. Grapefruit juice

Minerality: Drilling Down on Wine’s Buzzword
While “minerality” has long been used as a wine descriptor, it has recently become much more popular.
Grand Marnier is introducing the second flavor in its annual limited-release Signature Collection Series: Grand Marnier Raspberry Peach. This new flavor follows the 2012 success of Grand Marnier Cherry. Grand Marnier Raspberry Peach combines European raspberries and rare red peaches from Ardèche in the South of France, which are blended with orange essence and the same blend of premium Cognacs used to craft the original Grand Marnier Cordon Rouge. Grand Marnier Raspberry Peach will be available nationally in September for a suggested retail of $39.99 for a 750-ml. bottle.
