With the increase in craft brewing and government limitations of the three tier system, I am looking for some feedback on the idea of a start up distributor that only represents craft breweries? From everything I have read the current system in most states is a major disadvantage to both the small brewer and consumer.
We live within 15 minutes of 3 states (Md, De, and Pa) and have researched the paperwork in each. The regulatory requirements are obviously geared toward those working with the macros but at the same time don’t seem to impose fees that would require that kind of volume to be modestly successful (we are not looking for a get rich quick scheme just a career change.)
So I guess the question are:
Why have more people not done it?
As a brewer would you support it?
Foreign export… We could probably dedicate an entire college economics course to that topic. But would it be a reasonable long term goal?
Thanks for the feedback.
