Spirits Ade Segment Where All the Action Is Says Boston Beer CEO

Boston Beer CEO Jim Koch calls the emerging spirits 'ade' segment 'where a lot of the action is' over the next year.

Garry says:

Ade? Like lemonade but with vodka? Blya, they’re just renaming bad decisions.

I was reading that Boston Beer’s CEO says the spirits 'ade' segment is where all the action will be. He didn’t say what’s in it — just that it’s happening.

Ade. Sounds like something you’d order at a juice bar run by a yoga instructor who once read a book on fermentation. Probably tastes like regret and coconut water.

I’ve seen this before — new names for old things, wrapped in hope and marketing budgets. The last time I heard 'where the action is', it was 2003 and someone was selling bottled oxygen in Bangkok.
