Consider a category where just getting the requisite licenses to launch your product is a huge task. You have to abide by a stringent set of policies and regulations that differ across States. Online sales are mostly banned, offline outlets are limited in number and reigning players come with globally recognized brands, deep pockets, and are extremely protective of their turf. And to top it all, the brand in our spotlight is on an audacious mission to establish a completely new category in this space.<\/p><p>We are talking about Moonshine Meadery- an alco-bev startup based out of Pune, co-founded by childhood friends Rohan Rehani and Nitin Vishwas, who also happen to be passionate homebrewers.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b29df00 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"b29df00\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"945\" height=\"103\" src=\"https:\/\/winnerbrands.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Moonshine-logo.png\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-7193\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/winnerbrands.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Moonshine-logo.png 945w, https:\/\/winnerbrands.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Moonshine-logo-300x33.png 300w, https:\/\/winnerbrands.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Moonshine-logo-768x84.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 945px) 100vw, 945px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-da361ae elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"da361ae\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<style>\/*! elementor - v3.18.0 - 20-12-2023 *\/\n.elementor-heading-title{padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1}.elementor-widget-heading .elementor-heading-title[class*=elementor-size-]>a{color:inherit;font-size:inherit;line-height:inherit}.elementor-widget-heading .elementor-heading-title.elementor-size-small{font-size:15px}.elementor-widget-heading .elementor-heading-title.elementor-size-medium{font-size:19px}.elementor-widget-heading .elementor-heading-title.elementor-size-large{font-size:29px}.elementor-widget-heading .elementor-heading-title.elementor-size-xl{font-size:39px}.elementor-widget-heading .elementor-heading-title.elementor-size-xxl{font-size:59px}<\/style><h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">What is mead and why the name Moonshine?\n<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5fa5bdb elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"5fa5bdb\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Mead is a gluten-free alcoholic beverage made by fermenting honey with various fruits and spices.<\/p><p>The name of the brand, Moonshine, has an interesting backstory. Although the word moonshine existed for quite a while, it became popular during the Prohibition era in the US. Illegal distilling of whiskey happened by moonlight, and then expert drivers smuggled the spirit across borders, relying only on moonlight for illumination. And the spirit thus distilled and smuggled came to be known as moonshine.\u00a0<\/p><p>When Rohan and Nitin started brewing their first batches of mead, their friends and family were confused about what they were doing. Worried that they were brewing illicit &#8216;moonshine&#8217; liquor, they advised them to stop. As a matter of fact, that&#8217;s where the name of the brand came from!<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-26b4744 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"26b4744\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">The Inspiration and early beginnings<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ba0f098 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"ba0f098\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>It all started when Nitin chanced upon the concept of mead in an inflight magazine during one of his many European flights as a jet setting consultant. He felt the category represented a white space in the Indian AlcoBev industry. He shared this with his childhood friend Rohan, and they both decided to experiment with brewing mead in small batches. Soon their passion turned serious, and they started Moonshine Meadery to make and sell mead.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6e51cfe elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"6e51cfe\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"707\" height=\"363\" src=\"https:\/\/winnerbrands.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Founders.png\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-7203\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/winnerbrands.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Founders.png 707w, https:\/\/winnerbrands.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Founders-300x154.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 707px) 100vw, 707px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b0a500c elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"b0a500c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Taking the first bite- teething troubles<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c01cce3 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"c01cce3\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Alco-bev category in India is very tough to break into. Legacy behemoths use armies of lawyers and consultants to navigate registration and bureaucracy hurdles. With limited outlets and a ban on most online sales, this is a constrained distribution business. Carving out a new category in the alco-bev space where distribution and communication both are severely constrained can give nightmares to even experienced players.<\/p><p>But where experience breeds hesitation, innocence can drive action.<\/p><p>Constrained by resources and regulation, Rohan and Nitin started slow. In fact, Rohan left his cushy and comfortable job to spend close to a year waiting outside the excise department office, trying to get the permit papers moving, and then Nitin and Rohan built most of the fermenting plant literally by hand, consulting YouTube videos for guidance. This &#8216;getting your hands dirty&#8217; value is something that Rohan and Nitin cultivate in their team as well. &#8220;Even now, whoever joins Moonshine begins by brewing a batch,&#8221; explains Nitin.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a8dd4bb elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"a8dd4bb\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Clarifying the category before building\nthe Brand: \u201cMead is not Beer\u201d<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-79383a2 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"79383a2\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>&#8220;Unlike beer, mead is not bitter, it&#8217;s better,&#8221; explains Rohan. A funny incident that happened when Rohan and Nitin participated in a competition at Mumbai&#8217;s Mahalakshmi racecourse with seven other breweries underscored consumers&#8217; difficulty in slotting mead into its own category. Despite Moonshine Meadery neither being a brewery nor brewing beer, they won the best brewery and the best innovative beer awards. They also won the second-best beer prize! Hence, even before the team took the first steps towards marketing their product, they realized that to make a scalable impact beyond their immediate circle- with whom they had the luxury to explain their product- they would need to bake category education into their marketing mix.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5536370

This keeps the brand real and human, with even the odd mistakes in posts serving to highlight the human side of the brand. A classic example was when a consumer asked for proof of the quality of their honey. The brand responded by posting a picture of an employee accidentally stung by bees in the process of honey collection! Responses like these exemplify the brand\u2019s intelligent moves at striking conversations that differentiate it from incumbents. When the brand launched in Bangalore, Nitin, accompanied by the brand manager, hand delivered multi-packs of mead to fans of Moonshine in Bangalore who had hounded the brand about Bangalore launch dates on social media. In the early stages of brand building, initiatives like this, even though they are not scalable, can help you build a strong set of super-fans.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-c23a0a0 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"c23a0a0\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-9fd4d85\" data-id=\"9fd4d85\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c6dd3f3 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"c6dd3f3\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Sampling as a route to trials, repeats and Word-of-mouth\n<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7302353 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"7302353\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"724\" height=\"356\" src=\"https:\/\/winnerbrands.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/word-of-mouth.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-7350\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/winnerbrands.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/word-of-mouth.png 724w, https:\/\/winnerbrands.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/word-of-mouth-300x148.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 724px) 100vw, 724px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2ed61ce elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"2ed61ce\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Alco-bev category, despite many constraints, also has an advantage.

Confident of their product, the team made the most of this by extensively driving sampling, at both on and off-premise. The sampling drive kickstarted organic repeats, boosting the team\u2019s confidence. \u201cSampling is one of the best forms of marketing in this category,\u201d stresses Nitin.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-98017f8 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"98017f8\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-f8de8c2\" data-id=\"f8de8c2\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2812e69 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"2812e69\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Leveraging Distribution to build emotional affinity<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b8b87ed elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"b8b87ed\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Moonshine spotted and exploited another unique opportunity in the Alco-Bev category.

Hence, beyond major metros, Moonshine went on to place its products in hot tourist destinations buzzing with travellers from adjacent markets.

During unexpected events like a pandemic, if one state closes, the neighbouring state follows suit soon after. To counter this, the founders have now spread their distribution to 7 states, and want to be open for business in 8 by the end of January 2022. Eventually, Rohan and Nitin dream of going global with Moonshine.<\/p><p>Scaling up quickly can be complicated in the alco-bev category where laws and regulations vary from state to state. Further, each state requires going through its own process of licensing and registration, as well as negotiating with powerful distributors. That\u2019s where the team\u2019s philosophy of \u2018getting your hands dirty\u2019 is likely to prove handy. Further, at a price range of Rs. 185\/- to Rs. 250\/- for a pint (depending on the State), Moonshine meads are not exactly cheap. This can be a hindrance to throughput and the team needs to constantly work on innovative methods of brand building to catch the eye of both consumers as well as trade.<\/p><p>Despite early success, category creation is always tough. The majority of the user base for most innovative products will be early adopters. However, grabbing a meaningful category size will require going beyond these early adopters and driving mass consumption. It remains to be seen if Moonshine Meadery can crack this equation, especially because they will need to drive consumer education in a category where consumers are often simply looking to have a good time.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8958d26 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"8958d26\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Our Take:<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-128ffb9 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"128ffb9\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>From a passion project that started with home brewing to a fast growing brand that&#8217;s winning awards and palettes, Moonshine has come a long way in the last few years.
