'Blueberry is the flavor of the year so I'm interested to see how many beers take the leap. Oats are also big now overall, and I expect to see them get more attention from brewers, beyond the traditional oatmeal stout. Everyone is also getting in on 'better for you' low- and no- calorie options, like mid-strength hazy IPAs. I also think we might see the radler make a comeback in a new low-calorie, seltzer-like format.'- Charles Nouwen, Advanced Cicerone and AB InBev's Head of Passion for Beer.

'After polling our consumers on what they wanted most, we have a few new experimental products in the works, including a barley wine aging in whiskey, tequila and rum barrels, and a sour beer with a strong aroma and milder taste. We're also testing out an easy drinking beer with 'nutraceutical' properties that's also low alcohol, low calorie and gluten-free.' - Andrea Lecchini, Head Brewer, Birra del Borgo - Borgorose, Italy
