On the concluding day of its annual convention, NBWA also presented L**uke Dahlheimer** of **Dahlheimer Beverage** in Minnesota this year’s **Kenny Kerr PAC Award.** The award is named after NBWA's first PAC chairman. 

**West Side Beer** received the **Whitey Littlefield Award**, which honors distributors who go the extra mile to grow the NBWA PAC. 

In other activity at the convention, **Gavin Hattersley,** CEO, **Molson Coors Beverage Co.,** acknowledged threats facing the industry, including "some folks (who) doubt beer's ability to grow in the future." But he expressed confidence that beer – whether in thee U.S. or elsewhere in the world, doesn't just have a right history, but "a very bright future."
