Beverage Digest is a privately owned publication covering the global non-alcoholic beverage industry. It is free of advertising, relying on subscription revenue. The newsletter was founded in 1982 and publishes 22 regular issues a year. The publisher is based in Bedford Hills, New York.
Beverage Digest organizes conferences each year, where senior executives in the industry share their view on trends. Beverage manufacturers often quote information from the annual Beverage Digest Fact Book and the twice-monthly Beverage Digest newsletter in their press releases.
Although the newsletter is written for executives in the non-alcoholic drinks industry, its articles are often cited in publications with a broader audience. The New York Times has based a number of articles in part on information first published by Beverage Digest. The Los Angeles Times also cites the magazine as an authority in various stories. Forbes magazine, Yahoo! News and Reuters have also quoted the magazine. USA Today often bases stories on information first published in Beverage Digest.
