83 million millennials in the U.S. in 2015

44% are minority racial/ethnic groups

By 2017, they’ll spend $200 billion annually

Just give them drinks.

Millennials like parties.

Millennials are just like real people.

The panel discussion could have lasted longer.

Loved the panelists, learned a lot, and the beer tasted

excellent.
