Elite Brands Price Guide - May 2024 | Issue 33 by Elite Brands of Colorado

CHEERS FROM THE PRESIDENT

Looking towards summer, I’m eagerly awaiting all of the wonderful things that lie ahead. Both for Elite and all of the customers and suppliers that we consider ourselves fortunate to work with.

One of the things that I’m most looking forward to is our expanded territory in Northern Colorado. As we dive back into the market, our entire team is looking forward to reconnecting with our valued customers, introducing them to a curated selection of our favorite new products and bringing beloved classics back to them.

In the spirit of growth, we are also proud to announce the addition of Red Rocks Vodka to the Elite portfolio. Led by a husband-and-wife duo who are driven by a passion for excellence and beaming with local pride, the spirit is made from 100 percent non-GMO corn, 6x distilled and carbon filtered. We’re honored to represent the brand and share its iconic flavor with customers across the state.

As we continue to grow, I’m immensely proud of Elite’s ongoing commitment to community engagement and philanthropy. This year marked the 20th anniversary of the iconic Pliny the Younger release from Russian River Brewing Company and, as we have since 2015, Elite utilized the release as a platform to give back. 100 percent of the profits that Elite brings in from the Pliny the Younger release goes to Sense of Security—a cause close to our hearts here at Elite –and we also ask our customers who receive the release to make donations. This year, we raised a record $16,000, which we’re extremely proud of. Beyond this effort, we’re also thrilled to provide ongoing support to The Girls Athletic Leadership Schools of Denver, Up with People, and Global Youth Leadership Academy just to name a few.

Looking ahead, I invite you to join us at the upcoming Great International Beverage Festival (GIBF) on Sunday, June 2 at Mile High Station. If you haven’t had a chance to join us in years prior, the Great International Beverage Festival is an incredible opportunity for our customers to connect with both our suppliers and the Elite Brands team, learn about and taste the product, access special day-of deals, enjoy great food and, perhaps most importantly, have a lot of fun doing it. We’re expecting a record number of suppliers this year and are looking forward to connecting with all of you in person to say thank you for an incredible year.

As always, we’re immensely grateful for your ongoing partnership. We know the road over the last couple of years has been a challenge for many of you, but I want to reiterate that we’re in this with you. We’re here to help our people be successful and are looking forward to a fun summer ahead!

WHAT'S TERRY POURING THIS SEASON?

President & CEO, Terry Cekola, gives us a glance behind her bar

HOPLARK HOPTEA

THE CALM ONE

“Boulder-based Hoplark’s line of HopTea blends the best things of a hoppy IPA with a better-for-you beverage. I love The Calm One made with organic chamomile flowers because it has great flavor and no caffeine, calories, carbs or sugar.” Page 33

DECIBEL

SAUVIGNON BLANC

“I’ve been excited about all our new Australian and New Zealand offerings from Anthony, but have loved Decibel’s Sauvignon Blanc in particular. The fruit comes from Hawke’s Bay which is soft, complex, and more tropical in style for those looking for a unique Sauvignon Blanc from New Zealand.” Page 15

ALIDA TEQUILA BLANCO

“Warm weather means it’s tequila time! Alida delivers a quality tequila at an affordable price point. When it comes to a Blanco, I look for something good enough that it can be enjoyed on its own, or as I prefer, in a great margarita! Alida is a great option for either.” Page 64

VELTINS

Pilsner

Grevenstein, Germany

Veltins pours clean with a pale golden body and white, billowing head. Subtle malt and pleasant grassy character fill the nose. The first sip bursts with carbonation and there is a balanced soft note of malt and gentle hops. The sweet malt slowly melds to a dry, clean, soft finish which leaves you begging for more.

Pétillant Naturel Rosé

Hawke’s Bay, New Zealand

This is 100% Bridge Pa Malbec that is produced through an ancient method by bottling partially-fermented wine and allowing the yeast to finish their job in the bottle which traps in the natural bubbles. The spent yeast hulls, aka "lees", remain in the bottle so the wine has a natural haze to it.

LATEST FROM OUR SUPPLIERS

From new brands joining the portfolio to the latest innovations and company updates, this is the news you need to know to keep up with our suppliers.

ELEVATION BEER CO. OPENS TAPROOM IN DOWNTOWN SALIDA

Elevation Beer Co. recently opened a satellite taproom in downtown Salida called The Office Bar that will feature 34 beers on tap including regular and rotating offerings from the brewery. In addition, The Office Bar will serve a curated wine list, select spirits, and non-alcoholic options alongside a small offering of inspired bar snacks.

WIBBY BREWING'S PORTFOLIO OF LAGERS TAKES A PRICE DECREASE

In late January, Wibby and Elite enthusiastically announced a price decrease across the entire Wibby portfolio. In a turbulent market, Wibby has found ways to reduce its costs and has passed those savings on to retail partners and the end consumer. We recognize price decreases are rare so please reach out to your account manager if they can help you reflect those changes in price on the shelf or menu.

In December, beer industry publication, Brewbound, announced Maui Brewing Co.’s founder and CEO, Garrett Marrero, as “2023 Person of the Year.” The award recognizes Garrett’s efforts during the August wildfires in Maui that killed nearly 100 people and displaced thousands of others on the island. Garrett and his team supported relief efforts by running supply missions, collecting vital items for survivors, and supplying drinking water to those in need. In addition, Maui Brewing also spearheaded the Kokua Project, which was a collaboration beer effort to raise money for those in need. Visit Brewbound.com to listen to the entire interview with Garrett as he discusses his work to help the people of Maui during the wildfires.

RED ROCKS SPIRITS JOINS THE ELITE SPIRITS PORTFOLIO

Elite Brands is proud to welcome Red Rocks Vodka to our portfolio of craft spirits. Red Rocks Vodka is crafted in Lakewood, Colorado using 100% non-GMO corn and is 6 times distilled and carbon filtered for a smooth, balanced, and neutrally sweet profile. Red Rocks Vodka comes in 750ml, 1L, 1.75L, and 50ml bottles.

JIANT HARD TEA LAUNCHES HALF & HALF HARD TEA IN KEGS & 6-PACKS

Jiant continues to lean into the hard tea category with the release of Half & Half Hard Tea in both 6-pack cans and draft, previously only available in 19.2oz cans. Half & Half is fresh brewed with real fruit using black tea and lemon juice and comes in at 7% ABV.

TELLURIDE BREWING AND 4 NOSES BREWING GO BIG WITH 19.2OZ FORMAT BEERS

Sales of large-format beer packages continue to increase and so do the number of offerings in our portfolio. Recently, 4 Noses Brewing Co. released two beers in 19.2oz format including Above the Fog Double Hazy IPA and Michelada Picante. Additionally, Telluride Brewing Co. released their first 19.2oz can, The Show, an Imperial IPA that lands at 7.77% ABV.

SCOTTO CELLARS ENTERS THE LOW/NON-ALCOHOL WINE MARKET

Scotto Cellars recently launched two new products, placing the winemaker into the growing low and non-alcoholic wine market. ONE of ONE is a new brand from Scotto Cellars that brings together a revolutionary process to remove alcohol with world-class winemaking. The process retains the flavors and aromas you’d expect in a stunning California wine with none of the alcohol. The line includes a Cabernet Sauvignon, Sauvignon Blanc, and a sparkling White Wine all featuring California fruit. Nola Grace Cellars from the Scotto family also recently expanded with a low-alcohol Sauvignon Blanc called Nolita.

THE ORIGINAL PICKLE SHOT ADDS NEW 375ML PACKAGE SIZE

The Original Pickle Shot has expanded its packaging options with the addition of 375ml bottles in both their Original and Spicy pickle-flavored vodkas. The Original Pickle Shot was born out of Pickles Pub in Ocean City, Maryland, and has become a cult-like favorite now featuring a proprietary brine and handcrafted, small-batch vodka.

ORGANIC & VEGAN WINES

BODEGAS CHAVES

CASTEL DE FORNOS ALBARIÑO

This Albariño is made from a 4th generation family of winemakers. The winery was founded in 1955 in the subregion of Val do Salnes in Rais Baixes by José Chaves. The Albariño plots are hand-harvested, lightly pressed, then transferred to stainless steel for fermentation.

A growing segment of the wine category is certified-organic and vegan wines. For a wine to be considered organic it must be certified from a qualifying organization, such as the USDA in the U.S. or similar abroad. Vegan wines are made without animal products. In the case of winemaking, this often means winemakers will either leave the particles to sink naturally to the bottom of the wine or use non-animal fining products like clay or pea protein. Our full wine listings have identifiers to indicate vegan and organic wines, but here are six we don’t think you should miss.

BORN ROSÉ

Born Sparkling Rosé is made with Black Grenache and Tempranillo fruit from select organic vineyards surrounding Penedés, Spain. This wine shows a fresh and lively character and is a refreshing, versatile wine. Not to mention the bottle looks great on the shelf.

CLOUSTON & CO

MARLBOROUGH SAUVIGNON BLANC

Clouston & Co. produces estate-grown wines from New Zealand’s distinctive soil, climate, and pure aquifers. The Sauvignon Blanc is sourced from top vineyards with restricted yields. A small portion of the wine is fermented in concrete egg and clay amphora to bring out complexity and a unique chalky texture.

GIUNTA

MALBEC NOUVEAU

Giunta wines are produced by winemaker Daniel Brennan in Hawke's Bay, New Zealand. Daniel pioneered the Nouveau style in Hawke’s Bay. The region sees dry summers with moderate, cool nights. This wine reflects a Malbec grown in the Bridge Pa Appellation on the Heretaunga Plains.

CELLAR CAIRATS

ORIGEN

It’s not always explicit in winemaking which methods are used for vegan winemaking but in Cellar Cairats Origen from Montsant D.O., we know that the wine was clarified with potato protein and bentonite, a very soft clay. Origen is made with 50% Grenache, 30% Carignan, and 20% Tempranillo fruit and was recognized as a 92-point editor’s choice in Wine Enthusiast magazine.

EPPA ORGANIC

RED SANGRIA

Eppa Red is certified organic by the Sociedad Hispana de Certificación S.A. and is made with organically grown Monastrell grapes from Yecla, a small town in eastern Spain. The area features a continental climate with long, cold winters and equally long hot summers. The temperature swings of nearly 70 degrees between seasons allow for excellent ripening of the fruit.

GREAT INTERNATIONAL BEVERAGE FESTIVAL

The best in beverages from around the world, all under one roof

Written by Lesli Gegen

This year’s Great International Beverage Festival (GIBF) will be returning to Mile High Station on Sunday, June 2. For Elite’s customers who haven’t had a chance to attend in years prior, it’s an incredible opportunity to connect with both suppliers and the Elite Brands team, learn about and taste the product, access special deals day-of, enjoy great food and, perhaps most importantly, have a lot of fun doing it.

The Great International Beverage Festival represents Elite’s entire portfolio – beer, wine, spirits, ciders, meads, and non-alcoholics – and it truly is international. You’ll find Belgian beers and wines from France, Italy, South Africa, and South America, represented alongside domestic suppliers from California, Oregon, Washington, Colorado and more. In total, more than 60 suppliers will travel from around the world to pour for Elite’s customers this year, a record number for the event.

It's an event Elite looks forward to every year. But don’t just take their word for it.

Jon Lundbom has been heading up the Colorado market for B. United International, a small, family-run importer based in Connecticut, since 2015. So, needless to say, he’s a seasoned pro when it comes to GIBF, having attended seven of the tradeshows over the years.

When reflecting on the benefit of attending over the years, Jon describes the unique beverage landscape in Colorado. Since the state has so many independent wine, beer and liquor stores, the customer base in the state is incredibly wide.

This has made GIBF particularly useful for him over the years, as it’s a great place to connect with everyone in one spot without having to spend significant time in the car traveling around the state.

Elite’s account manager Mike Fine echoes Jon’s sentiment, noting that attending is a super-efficient and convenient option for retailers to explore new suppliers and products. Rather than setting aside a half an hour of their day to meet individually with each supplier, buyers can connect with dozens in one day.

Many tradeshows have several folks in attendance though, right? So, what makes GIBF stand out?

For starters, Jon shares that “GIBF is one of the better, if not the best, run trade shows that B. United attends. Everything runs incredibly smoothly, it’s very professional and everyone is very on top of things. It’s really an incredibly easy event to be a part of and really, really, well done.”

Unlike many similar events, every table at the Great International Beverage Festival has a representative who is close to the product on the supplier side, whether that’s the winemaker, the brewer, the salesperson, the owner or otherwise. The team is there to share their products and knowledge firsthand, as Elite truly believes there’s no one better to do so. You won’t find any volunteers pouring on their behalf and that’s something the team is really proud of.

Mike sees this as the biggest benefit for customers attending GIBF. “Hearing the stories of these brands directly from the people behind them, listening to them express their passion and what drives them to produce these products is something that no one else can replicate. Having the ability to foster a connection between the consumer retailer and the people making the products is really invaluable, so that, in turn, they can relay those stories to their customers.”

He also notes that the event is less stuffy than your traditional tradeshow. “No one is going to look down on

you for asking questions. It’s just a good time with good vibes. There are a lot of trade shows that are only buying events, but Elite does a great job of balancing that with some fun mixed in.”

That fun mixed in gives the event great energy and people truly enjoy themselves. This year, Elite will be bringing in catering from Junction Food & Drink, who will offer a few delicious options to choose from, and attendees will also have the opportunity to enjoy special products from Elite’s suppliers that aren’t out for distribution. One of the booths that people run to for the latter is Jon’s with B. United.

“Since B. United works with so many breweries that have very limited, very special and unusual items, we get to connect with many of our customers the second the door opens at GIBF. They’re excited to see what we brought for the year, which is always cool,” he explained. So, there’s an insider tip – don’t miss the B. United booth! Jon expects to have some exciting seasonals, a new whisky from the Japanese portfolio they’ve been developing, and a new Grappa from Italy that’s made with Acacia honey, and more.

This year, attendees can also look forward to more spirit offerings than in years past, alongside more canned cocktails, and more non-alcoholic options. When considering what to showcase at GIBF, Elite is always looking at what’s trending, what’s selling and what their customers are making more space for in their stores. The goal is to mix it up each year to make it interesting and relevant for all.

When asked why customers should attend GIBF this year, Jon says, “it’s an opportunity to try tons of different products that they wouldn’t be able to try or have exposure to otherwise all in one place. So, if they’re looking to stay competitive in the market, especially with how things are changing in Colorado, it’s a great chance to find new and exciting things to differentiate themselves and up their games!”

At the end of the day, the Great International Beverage Festival is really a way for Elite to show appreciation to their customers, introduce and reconnect with their amazing suppliers and spend quality time together. So, come, relax and enjoy it with them!

CIDER, MEAD, & OTHER PORTFOLIO

LARGE FORMAT PACKAGES

There’s a lot of talk about the growth of large-format packaging in beer, but this growth isn’t exclusive to the beer category. Beverage producers in the cider, hard tea, and other categories are packaging their beverages in larger sizes as well. Some even finding success in large-format packaging from the very beginning. One thing’s for sure with this round-up, bigger is always better.
