Brewbound is delighted to announce that Brooklyn Brewery President Steve Hindy will join the Brewbound Session on June 5th as a speaker and panelist.
Hindy will be on hand to discuss the current state of capacity in the craft beer space and explain the role distribution is playing in the ongoing growth of the craft beer category. Hindy will also explore the connections between the upcoming growth in brewing capacity and wholesalers’ eagerness to both pursue and sell craft brands.
Hindy will then join a panel discussion focused on the challenges a startup brewer faces when searching for distribution options. That panel will include World Class Beer’s Jim Schembre, who before will discuss the rising craft distribution networks.
The Brewbound Craft Beer Session will be held on June 5th at the Metropolitan Pavilion, a meeting and event space at 125 W. 18th Street in Manhattan. The event is co-located with BevNET Live, a two-day forum for beverage entrepreneurs, suppliers, distributors, retailers and investors.
The Brewbound Craft Beer Session is sponsored by Cold Spring Brewing Company, Key Keg and BevForce.
