For over a decade, BevNET’s “Best Of” Awards have been presented annually to honor the companies, brands, individuals, products, ideas and trends that are shaping the current beverage landscape as we know it. Having emerged from the cauldron that was 2020, this year has seen the market stabilize to a degree, only for brands and entrepreneurs to watch a new raft of challenges — supply chain woes, inflation worries, a dearth of packaging and just about everything else — arrive on their doorsteps. Still, yet again, the collective ingenuity and resilience of the beverage industry was on display for all to see, and our awards represent an opportunity to give the key players their proper dues.
