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.
The nominees for BevNET’s “Best of 2021” Awards, presented by Zuckeman Honickman, reflect the variety and strength within the beverage industry both in front of and behind the scenes, whether it’s guiding a company toward a multi-billion dollar sale, delivering bold new innovation and inspiring product concepts, capturing consumers’ imagination through clever marketing, or simply producing a beverage that we can’t stop drinking. For just the second time ever, BevNET accepted nominations for the awards, resulting in 376 nominations spanning a wide field of brands, products, people and campaigns that reflect the diversity and rich tapestry of our industry.
BevNET is proud to announce the nominees for its “Best Of 2021” Awards, as follows (with the exception of Person of the Year). Winners will be announced live at BevNET Live Winter 2021 on December 6, 2021 at 12pm PST.
