Beverage Digest is a privately owned subscription publication covering the global non-alcoholic beverage industry. The company was founded in 1982 by Jesse Meyers [1] [2] [3] and sells premium market intelligence and data.
Beverage Digest organizes conferences each year, where senior executives in the industry share their view on trends. [4]
Beverage Digest publishes the Beverage Digest Fact Book, a twice-monthly newsletter, and a map book that outlines Coca-Cola and Pepsi franchise territories. [5] In addition to being editor and publisher of Beverage Digest, [6] Duane Stanford Jr. also hosts a podcast called The Breeze. [7]
