Ezra's coverage predominantly focuses on the food and beverage industry, specifically breweries, craft beer, cider, taprooms, and beer festivals. Given this focus, he is likely to be interested in pitches related to new brewery openings or relocations, special events at breweries or taprooms such as festivals or themed months/weeks.
