The nail is in the coffin! The year 2014 is dead — dead, dead, dead!
But before it was buried and put to rest though, a number of sites online took a minute out from writing retrospectives to look ahead at what we might see in the coming year.
What will be the big trends of 2015? I’ve got a half-dozen links posted below. And there is some overlap of ideas between them, especially when it comes to simply pointing out the extension of trends which already hit the ground running in 2014.
Still, there are quite a few interesting ideas proposed in these lists:
•Liquor.com — Link
•Details — Link
•TechTimes — Link
•DrinkSpirits.com — Link
•The Spirits Business — Link
And then there’s this
• International Food & Restaurant Consultants — Baum & Whiteman Report
I separated the above link from the others because it is largely a report about food. That said, there is also a lot in the report about bars and booze. It’s a 19-page document, not a web list like all the other lists. And there’s a lot of interesting ideas and predictions proposed.
Can’t handle 19 pages? Here’s an article about the report:
•Gothamist — Food Trends In 2015
Everyone wants to be ahead of the curve.
Me? I can’t wait to be completely blindsided by something awesome this coming year, whether it’s just a new flavor, product, brand or technique — or whether it’s something that turns the whole industry on its ear.
