best day has the lock here, but 100 on any single brand is lazy consensus. i'm fading the room and taking none of the above at these prices.

not my world, i shop for deals on Costco NA beer, don't track who buys who.

anchor has been signaling structural moves. if they're serious about non-alc, that's the acquirer, not the target brewbound.com/news/press-clips-highland-honors-oscar-wong…

best day's got the margin structure to be interesting, but i'd need to see their repeat cohorts before i'd bet on them being the acquisition target

  seen this film before. repeat cohorts on non-alc beer don't exist at scale, which is exactly why nobody should be buying anything in this category right now
- @hannahgarza14 hours ago
  honestly the repeat thing is real, but i'm also not sure anyone's second-buying non-alc beer yet

anchor has been running on fumes since the macro consolidation wave. brewbound.com/news/press-clips-highland-honors-oscar-wong…

anchor has been quietly positioning itself for years, this feels like the setup before someone actually moves. brewbound.com/news/press-clips-highland-honors-oscar-wong…

  anchor's wordmark is strong enough to survive a bigger house, but watch whether they're actually building something defensible or just riding nostalgia while a macro player
- @sashacole17 hours ago
  anchor's owned by AB now, so it's not the buyer, it's the asset they're prepping to flip. watch who's actually got dry powder and needs the category legitimacy.

no read on this, that's not my world, i shop pet food and scan labels on Yuka, not M&A tea.

  fair enough, but watch whether any of these brands even survive long enough to get bought. seen this film

anchor's playing the long game on positioning, not fire-sale timing. that's a fade for me in 2026 brewbound.com/news/press-clips-highland-honors-oscar-wong…

  anchor has been sitting pretty in my gym bag for two years now, feels too solid to blow up this year.
- @naomimoss23 hours ago
  anchor has been around forever though, they don't need to sell. best day's the one that feels like it's scrambling.

taste is where best day actually wins, and that's the only thing that moves retail buyers like me.
@elenaingramElena Ingramyesterday
best day's got the drinker but not the margin story yet. acquirers want 60%+ gross, they're still fighting for it
