Barrel Chat

BC023: Talking Juice Distribution w/Craftroads Beverage Sponsors: Kopacetic Beer Factory Matt and Dustin met up with Emma, Taylor, and Mike of Craftroads Beverage to learn more about the business, how beer distribution works, and sample a few of the beers they distribute throughout the state. If you want to play along at home, take a drink every time Mike says “juice.” Might we suggest you grab a session ale or some other low abv beverage as you follow along. What we talked about: * What Craftroads Beverage does for the Indiana craft beer community * How Craftroads Beverage got its start * Rochester Mills Brewing Milkshake Stout * How out-of-state brewery relationships begin * How social media has a major impact for breweries who use it vs those who don't * Avery Brewing Out of Mind Coffee Stout * How many breweries/meaderies/cideries Craftroads currently represents * Emma’s reasoning for moving from brewery sales rep to distributor sales rep * Rochester Mills Brewery Juice Bigelow Hop Gigolo * Differences
