Did you know that May is National Barbecue Month? And National Loaded Potato Month and National Salsa Month…and the list goes on.  While we love to raise a glass and toast to whatever may be on the calendar for any given day, here at Sip & Savor we also enjoy starting new traditions. 

Recently, members of the Connecticut beverage industry took the opportunity to showcase our wide range of no- and low-sugar beverage options at the Connecticut Food Association’s (CFA) annual gathering in Hartford, Conn. The CFA’s membership includes food retailers, wholesalers, distributors and service providers in the state of Connecticut.

Attendees learned about the beverage industry’s innovation, which is bringing consumers smaller portions, less sugar and more options, and had the opportunity to taste some of these new offerings. The impressive footprint that beverage industry companies have in Connecticut did not go unnoticed either, boasting a whopping 2,179 direct industry jobs supplied in the state and a $1.4 billion direct economic impact!
