Good afternoon, everyone. So thanks for joining us today. It's a pleasure to introduce the last speaker of our conference this year, Jim Cook, who is the Co-Founder and Chairman of the Boston Beer Company.

It's been another an exciting and challenging year for Boston Beer as the company drives growth and innovation in Beyond Beer, one of the fastest-growing alcohol segments, led by its fast-growing Sun Cruiser brand while navigating a return to long-term sustainable growth by stabilizing Twisted Tea and Truly. Now not forgetting its roots, Boston Beer also sees areas of opportunity to drive growth beyond its core Sam Adams, Angry Orchard and Dogfish Head brands, which remain an important part of Sam's portfolio.

So with that, I'm very pleased to welcome Jim back to our event. So thank you, Jim.
