The<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/04/38468600/sam-adams-says-hold-my-beer-and-you-are-sales-numbers-dispute-cannabis-cannibalization-narrative"> cannabis beverage sector</a> faces challenges for scale and consumer education. Investors and companies in the space see growth opportunities and are ready for the coming breakout moment.
Here's the insight from a panel of experts at the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/cannabis-conference">2025 Benzinga Capital Conference</a> in Chicago.
Cannabis Beverage Opportunities: The cannabis beverage space has attracted investments and entry by large beer companies, including Boston Beer Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SAM#NYSE">SAM</a>).
"We think this is a source of long-term growth for us," Boston Beer Company Head of Cannabis Paul Weaver said at the Benzinga event.
Among the products from Boston Beer is Teapot, a cannabis-infused iced tea beverage.
Weaver said cannabis beverages are perfect for new cannabis customers as they might be afraid to enter a dispensary, and this is an easy-to-use-and-buy product in a sector they are likely familiar with.
Cheech and Chong Global Holding Company Chief Beverage Officer Ted Whitney said people being stressed out and needing better access to recreational relief is leading to consumer demand for cannabis-infused beverages.
"It's an awesome category. We actually have excitement around this," Whitney said.
Loverboy CEO Kyle Cooke, who is also known for his appearance on the Bravo TV show "Summer House," said there are opportunities for cannabis beverages, with beer, wine and spirits all currently trending down among consumers.
"There's a monumental shift," Cooke said.
Cooke said the cannabis beverage sector needs more low-dose options and more education for consumers as, for many consumers, "THC is THC."
Noah Friedman, whose Topshelf Ventures venture capital fund invests in the cannabis space, said cannabis beverages can solve escapism, provide fun and be used for social interactions.
"It's a damn good business," Friedman said.
Friedman added that the beverage space has proven time and time again that companies that can play the game right make a lot of money, which could be true for cannabis beverages in the future.
Panel moderator Tim Seymour, who is behind the Amplify Seymour Cannabis ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CNBS#NYSE">CNBS</a>), said the existence of cannabis beverages as a category is "loud and clear."

Cannabis Beverage Setbacks: While the panelists and moderator agreed that cannabis beverages are a category in the sector and an opportunity for growth, several setbacks remain that could be holding the sector back.
"Data is honestly the biggest problem," Weaver said.
The Boston Beer Company Head of Cannabis said, unlike the traditional beverage space, there is no real data for the cannabis beverage space, which is limiting investment in it.
"It's a really exciting investment time."
Weaver said some beverage companies overinvested in the cannabis space.
Friedman highlighted distribution and velocity as two of the keys to success in the sector.
"Distribution is absolutely critical," Friedman said.
Friedman said operators in the space should ensure they are ahead of their relative market in sales and growth, which could help land distribution in the future.
Cooke said the cannabis beverage space desperately needs consumer education, a role he hopes to help with.
The panel viewed the lack of consumer education and data points for the cannabis beverage sector mostly negatively, but Cooke added one positive aspect.
Cooke said there are not many Goliaths in the space, and it&#8217;s not David vs. Goliath right now.
"As an entrepreneur, I'm so excited," Cooke added.

EXCLUSIVE: Cannabis Beverage Sector Needs Consumer Education, Data, Has Upside Ahead - 'A Source Of Long Term Growth'

The Aluminium Association of Canada (AAC) has condemned the U.S. government's move to impose a 50% tariff on Canadian <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/aluminum" rel="noreferrer noopener">aluminum</a>, calling it a protectionist misfire that risks destabilizing North America's integrated manufacturing base and driving higher inflation across key sectors.
"A 50% tariff on Canadian aluminum will suppress demand across the continent — whether the metal is produced in Canada or the U.S.," Jean Simard, AAC's president and CEO, <a target="_blank" href="https://aluminium.ca/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/AAC_PRESS-RELEASE_US-Tariffs_50_June-3-2025_FINAL.pdf" rel="noreferrer noopener">said</a> in a press release.
"It will impact workers on both sides of the border and disrupt key sectors including defense, construction, and automotive," he stated.
The tariff, enacted last Wednesday following an executive order from President Donald Trump, effectively prices Canadian exports out of the U.S. market at $1,349.50 per metric ton. Simard warned that the move may force Canadian producers to reorient trade toward the European Union and away from their most critical industrial partner.
Food packaging is among the industries most exposed to these tariffs, as large companies such as Campbell Soup (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CPB#NASDAQ">CPB</a>) and Coca-Cola (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KO#NYSE">KO</a>) heavily rely on aluminum for their products.
The domestic Can Manufacturers Institute (CMI) also responded to Trump's decision, pointing out how aluminum and tinplate steel tariffs would hurt American families.
"Doubling the steel tariff will further increase the cost of canned goods at the grocery store," CMI president Robert Budway <a target="_blank" href="https://www.cancentral.com/can-manufacturers-institute-opposes-president-trumps-doubling-of-steel-tariffs/" rel="noreferrer noopener">said</a> on May 30. "These metal tariffs put our nation's food security at risk."
Nine domestic mill production lines have closed since the original 2018 tariffs on tin mill steel, leaving only three operational facilities. Thus, the domestic industry relies on roughly 80% of tin mill steel imports and a significant portion of aluminum.
Canada annually ships 2.7 million metric tons of aluminum to the U.S., much of which is transformed into beverage cans, canned food containers, and consumer packaging.
That raw material supports over 700,000 American manufacturing jobs, while Canada's aluminum sector directly employs 9,500 workers. Combined, the binational aluminum value chain contributes more than $228 billion annually to the U.S. economy.
Thanks to its abundant hydropower, Canada produces low-carbon aluminum at a cost and emissions profile that is far below that of many of its global competitors. That energy benefit is enormous — equivalent to 40 million megawatt-hours per year, or the annual output of four Hoover Dams.
Simrad noted that the Canadian industry supports the U.S. goal of increasing domestic aluminum production capacity from 50% to 80% of national demand, but added that tariffs undermine the investment certainty needed to build that capacity.
"Even if U.S. output doubles, it will still be a net importer," he said.
Instead, the AAC and CMI urge the U.S. to target the real threat: subsidized overcapacity from China. Canada already leads the world in aluminum traceability and anti-dumping enforcement. "Canadian aluminum is not — and will not be — a backdoor for unfair trade," Simard stated. "Undermining a trusted partner only weakens the foundation we both stand on."

Reiteration

Needham Reiterates Hold on Boston Beer Coto Hold

Boston Beer Company Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SAM#NYSE">SAM</a>) reported first-quarter financial results after the market close on Thursday. Here&#8217;s a rundown <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/04/g44995304/boston-beer-reports-first-quarter-financial-results">of the report</a>.
Q1 Earnings: Boston Beer reported first-quarter revenue of $453.87 million, beating analyst <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/earnings">estimates</a> of $434.38 million. The craft brewer reported first-quarter earnings of $2.16 per share, easily topping estimates of $1.01 per share, according to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro</a>.
Total revenue jumped 6.5% year-over-year due to volume increases and pricing. Shipment volume for the quarter totaled approximately 1.7 million barrels, up&nbsp;5.3%&nbsp;year-over-year. The shipment growth was driven primarily by increases in Sun Cruiser, Hard Mountain Dew and Twisted Tea brands, partially offset by declines in the Truly brand. Depletions were down 1% year-over-year in the first quarter.
Boston Beer said it repurchased $49.2 million of its common stock in the quarter and has already repurchased another $11.3 million of shares since the quarter&#8217;s end. The company ended the period with a cash balance of $152.5 million.

보스턴 비어 컴퍼니(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SAM#NYSE">SAM</a>)는 목요일(24일) 장 마감 후 1분기 재무 실적을 발표했다. 다음은 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/04/g44995304/boston-beer-reports-first-quarter-financial-results" target="_blank" rel="noopener">보고서</a> 요약이다.
1분기 실적: 수제 맥주 업체 보스턴 비어는 1분기 매출이 4억 5,387만 달러로 애널리스트 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/earnings" target="_blank" rel="noopener">예상치</a> 4억 3,438만 달러를 상회했다고 발표했다. <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">벤징가 프로</a>에 따르면 1분기 주당 2.16달러의 수익을 보고하여 예상치인 주당 1.01달러를 크게 넘어섰다.
총 매출은 물량 증가와 가격 인상으로 인해 전년 동기 대비 6.5% 증가했다. 분기 출하량은 전년 동기 대비 5.3% 증가한 약 170만 배럴을 기록했다. 출하량 증가는 주로 선 크루저(Sun Cruiser), 하드 마운틴 듀(Hard Mountain Dew), 트위스티드 티(Twisted Tea) 브랜드의 증가에 의해 주도되었으며, 트루리(Truly) 브랜드의 감소로 일부 상쇄되었다. 1분기 재고량은 전년 동기 대비 1% 감소했다.
보스턴 비어는 이번 분기에 4,920만 달러의 보통주를 재매입했으며 분기 말 이후 이미 1,130만 달러의 주식을 추가로 매입했다고 밝혔다. 회사는 이 기간 동안 1억 5,250만 달러의 현금 잔고를 보유했다.
보스턴 비어의 사장 겸 CEO인 마이클 스필레인은 "1분기 실적은 시장 점유율을 높이고 매출 총이익을 크게 확대하면서 올해를 순조롭게 시작했음을 반영한다&#8221;고 했다.
"거시 경제 환경이 계속 어려워지고 있는 가운데, 우리는 핵심 브랜드와 최근 도입한 혁신 제품 전반에 걸쳐 여름 시즌을 위한 강력한 운영 계획을 실행하는 데 집중하고 있으며, 두 경우 모두 타깃 광고 투자로 뒷받침되고 있다.&#8221;
가이던스: 현재까지 발표된 관세에 따르면 보스턴 비어는 2025년 한 해 동안 약 2,000만~3,000만 달러의 불리한 비용 영향을 예상하고 있다.
회사는 2분기에는 출하량 추세가 고갈 추세보다 높을 것으로 예상한다고 밝혔다. 또한 보스턴 비어는 2025년 연간 주당 8달러에서 10.50달러의 수익을 전망한 반면, 예상치는 주당 10.85달러로 제시되었다.
SAM 주가 움직임: <a href="http://benzinga.com/quote/sam" target="_blank" rel="noopener">보스턴 비어 주가</a>는 목요일 애프터마켓에서 2.93% 상승한 249.50달러에 거래되고 있다.

주요 주류 생산업체와 유통업체들의 주식은 미국 공중보건국장인 비벡 머시(Vivek Murthy)가 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/01/42787400/alcohol-increases-cancer-risk-surgeon-general-warns" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-google-interstitial="false">알코올 소비와 관련된</a> 암 위험 증가에 대해 경고한 후 금요일 급락했다.
알아야 할 사항: 머시의 권고는 알코올과 암의 연관성에 대한 증거가 증가하고 있음을 반영하여 건강 경고 라벨을 업데이트할 필요성을 강조했습니다. 이 라벨은 1988년 이후로 개정되지 않았다. 또한 권고된 알코올 소비 한도의 재평가를 촉구하며, 알코올이 미국에서 담배와 비만에 이어 세 번째로 예방 가능한 암 발생 원인임을 강조했다.
머시의 성명은 알코올이 유방암, 간암 및 대장암 등 적어도 7종의 암과 연관되어 있음을 주목하게 했다. 그는 알코올 소비가 매년 약 100,000건의 암 사례와 20,000명의 사망을 초래한다고 지적했다. 또한 미국 성인 중 45%만이 알코올이 암 위험을 증가시킨다는 사실을 알고 있다.
주요 주류 회사들의 주식은 이 뉴스에 부정적으로 반응했다.
주가 움직임: 몰슨 쿠어스(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TAP#NYSE">TAP</a>)의 주식은 3.37% 하락 마감했으며, 보스턴 비어 컴퍼니(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SAM#NYSE">SAM</a>)의 주식은 3.83% 하락 마감했다. 앤하이저부시 인베브(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BUD#NYSE">BUD</a>)의 주식은 2.14% 하락 마감했고, 컨스텔레이션 브랜드(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/STZ#NYSE">STZ</a>)는 0.29% 하락 마감했다. 디아지오(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DEO#NYSE">DEO</a>)의 주식도 3.76% 하락 마감했다. 잭 다니엘스 위스키 제조사인 브라운 포먼(NYSE:<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/BF-B" target="_blank" rel="noopener">BF/B</a>)은 2.53% 하락 마감했다.
공중보건국장의 권고는 공공 건강 조치와 알코올 제품에 대한 경고 라벨 업데이트를 요구하는 새로운 규제의 가능성에 대한 논의를 재점화했다.

보스턴 비어 컴퍼니(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SAM#NYSE">SAM</a>)는 목요일 2분기 재무 결과를 발표했다. 보고서의 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/07/g39970023/boston-beer-reports-second-quarter-financial-results" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-google-interstitial="false">주요 수치</a>를 살펴보자.
주요 사항: 보스턴 비어는 분기별 이익을 주당 4.39달러로 보고했는데, 이는 분석가 합의 추정치인 5.10달러를 13.92%나 하회한 수치이다. 분기별 매출은 5억 7,910만 달러로 분석가 컨센서스인 5억 9,733만 3,000달러를 3.05% 하회했으며 지난해 같은 기간보다 4.01% 감소했다.
보스턴 맥주는 이번 분기에 고갈량이 4% 감소했고 출하량이 6.4% 감소했다고 밝혔다. 총 마진은 46%로 전년 대비 60bp(베이시스 포인트) 상승했다.

회장 겸 창립자인 짐 코흐(Jim Koch)는 "총 마진이 현재까지 250 베이시스 포인트 이상 확대되고 강력한 현금 흐름이 창출되는 등 우리의 총 마진 개선 이니셔티브가 계속해서 유지되고 있다"고 말했다. "4월에는 고갈이 적었지만 분기를 거치면서 개선되었다. 업계 환경이 여전히 역동적인 가운데, 우리는 혁신의 초기 징후를 보고 있으며 강력한 대차대조표를 활용하여 브랜드에 투자하는 동시에 주주들에게 현금을 돌려줄 것이다."
전망: 보스턴 비어는 연간 GAAP 주당 이익 지침을 10.27달러 추정치와 비교하여 7.00~11.00달러 사이로 재확인했다.

보스턴 비어 컴퍼니(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SAM#NYSE">SAM</a>)의 주가는 회사가 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/beer-stocks">가장 잘 알려진 맥주 주식들</a> 중 하나에 큰 변화가 될 수 있는 움직임으로 매각을 앞두고 있다는 보도로 금요일 급등했다.
어떤 일이 있었나 (What Happened): 보스턴 비어는 현재 30억 달러의 시가총액에 프리미엄을 추가한 매각에 가까워질 수 있다.
월스트리트 저널(WSJ)의 <a href="https://www.wsj.com/business/deals/boston-beer-in-talks-to-sell-itself-to-jim-beam-owner-suntory-d0f23485?page=1">보도</a>에 따르면 보스턴 비어는 짐빔(Jim Beam)의 소유주인 산토리(Suntory)와 협상 중이다.
보스턴 비어는 대표적인 사무엘 아담스(Samuel Adams) 맥주 브랜드를 소유하고 있으며, 트위스티드 티 하드 아이스드 티(Twisted Tea Hard Iced Tea), 앵그리 오차드 하드 사이더(Angry Orchard Hard Cider), 도그피쉬 헤드(Dogfish Head) 맥주, 트룰리 하드 셀처(Truly Hard Seltzer) 및 기타 여러 브랜드의 소유자이다.
이 회사는 1984년 짐 코치(Jim Koch)에 의해 설립되었다. 코치는 이 회사의 회장이며 클래스 B 주식을 통해 100% 의결권을 보유하고 있으므로 거래 승인이 필요하다.
보스턴 비어의 CEO인 데이브 버윅(Dave Burwick)는 4월에 은퇴했다.

왜 중요한가 (Why It&#8217;s Important): 산토리는 짐 빔과 메이커스 마크(Maker&#8217;s Mark) 및 여러 맥주, 스프라이트 및 와인 브랜드의 소유권을 보유하고 있다. 이 회사는 또한 일본 및 베트남과 같이 여러 국제 시장에서 펩시코(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PEP#NYSE">PEP</a>)의 브랜드들을 병입하는 업체이다. 산토리는 2014년 빔 인수에 136억 달러를 지불했다.
보스턴 비어와 산토리는 2021년 즉석 음료에 대한 파트너십을 체결했다.
이번 인수 가능성은 보스턴 비어 주가가 전년 대비 약 25% 하락하고 여러 맥주 회사들이 파산을 선언한 가운데 이루어졌다.
이 회사는 트룰리 하드 셀처(Truly Hard Seltzer)가 출시되면서 주가가 급등했고, 하드 셀처(Hard Seltzer)는 몇 년 동안 호황을 누렸습니다.
SAM 주식의 움직임: 이 보도로 금요일 보스턴 비어의 주식은 정규장에서 이 보도로 인해 가격이 급등한 관계로 잠시 거래가 중단된 적이 있었다. 이 주식은 22.33% 급등한 313.67달러에 마감했다. 이후 시간외 거래에서 2.77% 하락한 304.99달러를 기록했다.

샘 아담스, 트룰리 하드 셀처 등을 보유한 보스턴 비어의 매각 협상 보도로 주가 급등

골드만삭스(Goldman Sachs)의 분석가 본니 헤르조그(Bonnie Herzog)는 최근 베버리지 바이트(Beverage Bytes)의 설문조사에서 맥주 유통업체들로부터 얻은 피드백을 바탕으로 몰슨 쿠어스 베버리지(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TAP#NYSE">TAP</a>)와 콘스텔레이션 브랜드(Constellation Brands Inc) (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/STZ#NYSE">STZ</a>)에 대한 판단을 좀 더 긍정적이고, 보스톤 비어 컴퍼니(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SAM#NYSE">SAM</a>)에 대한 판단을 부정적으로 바꿨다.
이 분석가는 몰슨 쿠어스 베버리지의 주식평가를 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/TAP/analyst-ratings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">중립 에서 매수로</a> 상향 조정했으며, 목표 주가도 66달러에서 75달러로 상향 조정했다.
헤르조그는 유통업체들이 TAP가 봄 선반 재설정의 큰 승자가 될 것으로 예상하고, 평균적으로 한 자릿수 중반의 선반 공간 비율을 점진적으로 확보할 것으로 기대한다는 점을 고려하면 긍정적인 위험/보상을 본다.
더 많은 유통업체들이 밀러 라이트(Miller Lite) 및 쿠어스 라이트(Coors Light)의 점유율 강화를 보고 있으며, 거의 80%의 유통업체들가 해당 브랜드가 점유율을 유지할 것으로 기대하고 있다고 그가 말했다.
이 분석가는 유통업체들의 78%가 3월에 TAP 브랜드의 재고를 더 많이 보유하고 있었으며 이는 TAP가 봄 재설정을 앞두고 1분기에 예상보다 더 많이 출하했을 수 있음을 시사한다.
그는 미주 지역의 출하량/고갈 성장에 대한 개선된 전망을 반영하여 TAP의 1분기 실적이 양호한 것으로 예상하고 있다.
이 분석가는 TAP의 시장 점유율 순풍이 현재 시장이 평가하는 것보다 더 지속 가능하다는 것이 입증됨에 따라 주식이 더 높게 재평가될 것으로 예상한다.
이 분석가는 콘스텔레이션 브랜드 주식에 대해 4월 11일에 발표될 4분기 실적을 앞두고 290달러의 목표주가와 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/STZ/analyst-ratings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">매수 평가</a>를 재확인했다.
그는 STZ의 맥주 거래량 트렌드가 견고하며, 이번 봄에 추가로 선반과 쿨러 공간을 확보하는 데 가장 큰 수혜자가 될 것으로 예상되기 때문에 잠재적인 매출과 순익 선점이 가능할 것으로 보고 있다.
이 분석가의 긍정적인 견해는 강력한 소비자 수요, 유리한 인구 통계적 트렌드, 강력하고 명확한 브랜드 포지셔닝으로 인해 모델로(Modelo)에 대한 장기적인 성장 여정을 지지한다.
그는 STZ의 강력한 혁신으로 인해 역사적으로 30%였던 생산량 증가율이 향후 5년 동안 최대 40%까지 증가할 것으로 예상한다.
이 분석가는 모델로가 이끄는 핵심 맥주 브랜드를 통해 매력적인 성장을 이룰 수 있을 만큼 STZ의 사업에서 충분한 모멘텀을 계속해서 확인하고 있다. STZ는 그가 선호하는 최고의 주식 중 하나이다.
그는 보스톤 비어의 주식에 대한 평가를 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/SAM/analyst-ratings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">매도로</a> 재확인했으며, 목표 주가는 257달러에서 250달러로 하향 조정했다.
이 분석가에 따르면 유통업체들은 새로운 경쟁업체들이 하드 티(hard tea) 카테고리에 넘쳐나면서 지난 몇 달 동안 트위스티드 티(Twisted Tea)의 모멘텀이 둔화되기 시작했다고 보고했다.
트위스티드 티(Twisted Tea)에 대한 낙관적인 전망에도 불구하고, 트위스티드 티가 트룰리(Truly)의 손실을 상쇄할 만큼 충분한 가치가 있는지에 대한 불확실성을 고려할 때, SAM의 리스크보상은 여전히 부정적인 쪽으로 기울어져 있다는 점을 이 분석가는 지적했다.
그는 유통사들이 SAM 제품의 재고를 계속해서 줄이고 있으며 봄 초기화 기간 동안 선반/쿨러 공간을 더 적게 할당할 것으로 기대한다.
따라서 이 분석가는 1분기의 회계연도 24/24/25년간의 주당 순이익 예측치를 각각 -$0.28/-$0.58/-$0.46, 즉 $0.11/$9.72/$12.63으로 하향 조정했다.
그는 지속적인 톱라인 턴어라운드 스토리의 징후가 더 많이 나타날 때까지 단기적으로 주식에 대한 부정적인 위험/보상이 더 많다고 본다.
주가 움직임: 화요일, SAM 주식은 1.92% 하락한 291.31달러에 마감했다.
