Organic beverages finalists for 2018 SupplySide CPG Editor's Choice Award - image gallery

Low-pH is in, represented by the innovative vinegars category—from sipping vinegar to apple cider vinegar to switchel. These are among the five finalists vying for the 2018 CPG Editor's Choice Award in organic beverages. 

Now in its 7th year, the SupplySide CPG Editor's Choice Awards recognizes what's cool in innovation in dozens of categories. Beverages are undergoing a sea change as consumers flee from old-standby colas and carbonated sugar water to seek out new experiences. Cold boxes in stores don't look anything like they did at the turn of the century. That's exciting. 

One winner in each of nearly 30 categories will be announced on the SupplySide Central Stage at SupplySide West 2018, held at the Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas. The supplement winners will be revealed Thursday, Nov. 8, from 1:30 to 2 p.m., followed by the food and beverage winners on Friday, Nov. 9, from 1:30 to 2 p.m. Click the following link to learn more about the networking event or to register for SupplySide West.
