It’s almost two weeks since the UK electorate voted to leave the EU. With millions of conversations taking place on social media before and after the vote we took a look to see who won the EU social media referendum. The social media conversations have even hit the mainstream media whether to assess the impact of individual politician’s, the respective campaigns themselves or the social media trends. We were interested in the latter aspect: what was taking...

Firstly, the day kicked off with a session on food packaging. This may sound a little dull,...

It has become a known trend that over the last few years the love for craft beer is rising (almost fivefold in four years from 164,000hl in 2011 to 625,000hl in 2015) and is showing no sign of disappearing anytime soon. And British brewers have proved their significance in this market with an increase in craft value of 76% in 2015.

This morning saw news that US brewing giant SABMiller had purchased UK craft brewer Meantime for an undisclosed sum. The acquisition will see Meantime operate as an independent brewery with SABMiller looking to drive expansion and exports of Meantime’s award-winning brews. With the craft beer market booming, is this a one-off purchase or is it the start of a wave of purchases of nimble, profitable craft brewers by ‘big brewing’? Craft brewers are an attractive target for acquisition Craft...
