Hey guys- I'm a beer-lifer... 10 years at corporate beer and 3 years doing the sales and marketing at Boulder Beer.

I've stepped out on my own and started a sales training company for beer distributors and suppliers. Obviously any small company needs more business...

Wondering if anyone has contacts or leads for my services.

Just looking for some help...

I may. I know someone in the biz who is still small but ready to get bigger and better. They represent some notable brands in a tough beer market. They might be interested but let me run the idea by 'em first. Best of luck with your new venture!

Cheers!

When were you last at Boulder Beer? I believe we may have met during the GABF or at the CBC a few times.

Check your PM's.

I left Boulder Beer about 4 months ago... We would have certainly met at the GABF- Our Hazed hasn't yet been placed in the right category for victory!

I just moved to Atlanta, GA and I'm hoping to get back into the business. I'll let you know if I see a distributor etc. that could use the service.

Hop Growers of America, Inc located in the state of Washington, USA would be a good starting point. They are a good trade organization and could refer you to a source for barley, yeast, etc. Other "additives" to beer could be corn or rice, but only as adjuncts for lowering costs or changing flavor. I'm not aware of any other additives that are common to beer. (There are no preservatives other than increasing the Hop content.) I hope this answers some of your questions.
