AB InBev's legal settlement with Stateside reveals how aggressively category giants defend brand territory in spirits. Plus: what Royal Unibrew's production move risks for Nørrebro Bryghus, and why creators now want ownership stakes instead of fees.
In this episode:
- AB InBev settled a trademark dispute out of court with US vodka brand Stateside, signalling how fiercely the world's largest brewer protects brand territory as it expands into spirits.
- Royal Unibrew is relocating production of craft-heritage brand Nørrebro Bryghus from its original Copenhagen home to the Albani brewery, trading provenance for operational efficiency.
- Creators are increasingly negotiating equity stakes in FMCG brands rather than flat fees, forcing brand managers to rethink influencer deal structures, governance, and long-term alignment risk.
