Gen Z Unpoured: The Big Beverage Shifts Coming in 2026+
January 29 @ 11:00 am - 11:30 am EST

“I craft my identity through what I consume.” For Gen Z, consumption isn’t just functional. It’s identity in action. Every snack, meal and drink is a signal of mood, values and aesthetic.
In this webinar, Black Swan Data will explore what Gen Z will be drinking (and not drinking) in 2026 and beyond. From emerging alcohol trends to new frontiers for functional sodas, this content will unpack the needs, behaviors and passions shaping the next generation of drinks.
Black Swan’s predictive intelligence uses AI to analyze millions of social posts (from TikTok, IG, Pinterest etc.) to deliver actionable insights for brands like PepsiCo, Heineken and Nestle.
