“No one is looking at data the way the Sightlines team is. I’ve been able to use their insights, and the insights of the community, to outline opportunities for our team that we had big question about. They always seem two steps ahead of where we’re looking. Beer trends, seltzer, RTDs, all of it. It’s helped us outpace other top 25 craft brewers and set us up to explore beyond beer.”
— Andrew Emerton, Innovation Director, New Belgium Brewing
