Scott Akins of Thunderbolt Distribution is the guest on Episode 11 of the podcast. Scott's company is changing the way distribution of Craft Beer is being done here in New Jersey by using a new business model that doesn't require a lifelong contract. He is trying to break into this tough business by performing great service with the caveat that if you are not happy you can take your beer and go home. Thunderbolt's brands include Honor Brewing, Funky Bow Brewing, Ship Bottom Brewery, 902 Brewing, and Epic Green Tea with new breweries expected to be added soon.
So sit back and listen to how Scott went from being a Brewery Tour Company owner to a full-fledged Craft Beer Distributor!
This episode is brought to you by the Joe and Rachel Cat Country South Jersey Beer, Food, and Music Festival happening on 6/2/18 on the campus of ACCC in Mays Landing. For tickets to this great festival visit Eventbrite!
