MGP has been in the news recently with their acquisition of Luxco and on the last roundtable we discussed how this will enable MGP’s brands such as Remus to gain a nationwide presence with a bigger salesforce. We’re joined by Andy Mansinne, Vice President of Brands for MGP, to learn more about their brands and the impact of other brands winning awards based on product sourced from them. We also ask about acquiring brands and their thoughts on the current contract distillation marketplace.
