Is it worth it to pursue partnership for someone who is older? There is a mandatory retirement age, and full vesting of retirement benefits is not likely to happen before then.

What are the best firms for this type of transition and why?

Any craft beer brewers here?

In the last two year I’ve gotten more and more into alcohol free beer. The selection in my country (Europe) is still small and mainly driven by the big brands (e.g. Heineken).

Any thoughts on that idea or someone who has experience in the market?
