Education

A knowledgeable staff is an empowered staff
and an empowered staff sells more beer.

Confidence & Understanding

We sell an eclectic mix of beers from all over the world, and each has its own history, context, and story. We've found that an understanding of this bigger picture is essential to effectively selling beer, especially with products such as ours that are often made by under-the-radar producers from hard-to-pronounce places.

Being able to successfully sell these products requires confidence that can only be gained with a thorough understanding of what the products are, exactly. We want to do everything we can to get you there.

We're Here To Help

What you see below is an archive of educational documents we've put together for you, your staffs, and your friend next door that wants to learn more about beer. It is broken into sections covering the basics of beer, cider, and mead, beer styles, and a collection of miscellaneous topics you'll encounter in your beery travels. The information held within these documents covers the entire realm of beer, cider and mead--not just those in our portfolio. For information specific to beer brands or breweries, see the left column of our homepage which has separate informational pages for each of the breweries we represent. This archive will be updated every month with a new topic. As always, feel free to email us with questions. We're happy to help.
