How many of our connections explored whisky bottlings? Cask Capital is working on several bottling projects (Octave casks) with a smaller outrun (between 50-100 bottles). We would like to know the general sentiment around such releases and if it would make it easier for medium-size retailers to launch their own series without committing too much money toward the entire cask purchase. We have some useful documents to share if anyone is interested (bottling calculator, etc). Feel free to send us a message. We are happy to share our knowledge. #whisky #whiskey #whiskybottling #whiskyrelease #whiskyenthusiast #whiskyinvestment #scotch #scotchwhisky

I had a heartfelt conversation with one of our clients today. He is a dedicated butcher from the rural Klein Karoo. He shared his concerns about competing with a similar butchery that was recently awarded “Best Butchery with 3 or More Till Points” in South Africa at the 19th Cleaver Awards, hosted by SAMIC. It’s so easy to feel overwhelmed when faced with such accolades, but it’s important to remember that success isn’t a zero-sum game. In the world of business, there’s ample space for everyone to prosper. Each business has its unique strengths and stories that resonate with different customers. Our client’s commitment to providing high-quality, farm-processed meat directly to his community is a testament to his dedication and passion. While competitors may shine brightly, it’s crucial to recognize that their journey isn’t without challenges. The grass isn’t always greener on the other side; it’s green where you water it. By focusing on what makes his butchery special and continuing to serve his customers with excellence, our client can carve out his own path to success. Let’s celebrate the diversity of businesses and the unique value each one brings to the table. There’s enough room for everyone to thrive, and with perseverance and passion, our client will continue to make a meaningful impact in his community. #BusinessGrowth #CommunitySupport #SmallBusiness #KleinKaroo #Butchery #SuccessStories

🍻 Brewing Beer + 🪰 Farming Insects = Increased Margins & Circular Economy System Clayton Payne and I sit down (AGAIN) to discuss our latest report, which explores the integration of Black Soldier Fly Larvae (BSFL) production in the UK brewing industry. *TLDR:* 🌍 Current Challenges: The UK brewing industry faces waste management hurdles, especially with brewers' spent grain (BSG) and yeast disposal. Traditional methods contribute to environmental concerns and inefficient resource utilisation. 🔄 Paradigm Shift with BSFL: BSFL integration offers a revolutionary solution, transforming brewing waste into high-value protein. This approach ensures rapid and effective waste utilisation, turning disposal challenges into valuable commodities. 💡 Benefits: 1. Economic: Increasing margins p/ton by converting spent grain - and other organic outputs - into insect protein. 2. Sustainability: Breweries can save up to 513 kg CO2 per ton on landfilled co-products, helping reach ESG targets. 🍻 BrewDog 'Lost' beer as a Consumer Demand Indicator: Explore how changing consumer preferences, as seen with BrewDog's 'Lost' beer, align with the need for sustainable brewing practices. 🌿 Conclusion: The symbiotic relationship between BSFL production and the UK brewing industry promises lasting positive impacts. Adopting BSFL technology is a strategic and forward-thinking approach, managing waste efficiently while elevating it to a valuable resource. 🚀 Call to Action: Urging widespread adoption of BSFL technology, not just as a waste management solution but as a catalyst for a sustainable brewing industry. Further on-site UK brewery research is crucial. ---------------------------- Find more 👉 https://lnkd.in/e8HMCDwW Full Report 👉 https://lnkd.in/e2sJ5wBJ Contact me if you're interested in acquiring BSF, exploring collaboration opportunities, forming partnerships, investing in our endeavours, or simply gaining insights into our initiatives! #BSF #InsectFarming #SustainableProtein #innovation #sustainable #climatechange #CircularEconomy #BeerInnovation #startupgrowth #CraftBrewing The Bug Factory https://lnkd.in/eaJ_tw-9

https://lnkd.in/eSbJiYcr Red Lobster was done in by a private equity firm and by insider deals--by its owners--not by its quality of service. The private equity owners sold the restaurant buildings for cash, then leased them back and charged the individual restaurants above-market rents, thus looting the business. A seafood supplier that became a controlling owner pushed out all other suppliers and then stuck the chain with overpriced seafood...and then pushed the company to continue its all-you-can-eat shrimp specials, to Red Lobster's ruination. American capitalism, folks.
