Subhav provides recommendations for potential M&A targets for WorldWide Brewing. He recommends HappyHour Co., Spirit Bay, Hipsters' Ale, and Bevy's Direct as they operate in similar segments to WorldWide Brewing across multiple countries, providing strategic benefits and synergies. They also have strong financial results and ownership structures that would make an acquisition relatively simple. Brew Co. is not recommended due to its limited geographical reach and operations only in manufacturing in Malaysia.
