The Beverage Federation in partnership with the Amazing team at Craft Beer Professional (CBP), have assembled a group of brewery owners who have been in business for 5 years or more and are going to talk about the value of good partnerships.
The Beverage Federation is set up to enable brewery owners and supply partners to work better together. We focus on creating or improving relationships as the two groups do business with the goal of making partnerships valuable for both parties. More on the Beverage Federation can be found HERE.
But today, we wanted to sit down and talk more about how these two groups , Supply Partners and Brewery Owners can improve business together. Specifically, why is working with some supply partners easier, what do they regret about early years in business with partners, what mistakes were made and what would they recommend to brewery owners looking to open their doors in 6 months?
The goal is to talk to a group of experienced owners about how best to set up good partnerships that help your brewery grow while avoiding bad partnerships. To round out the discussion we have added a supply partner to the discussion to hear from the 'other' side of the table.
