  • Episode 3: The Fork in the Keg – How Distribution Can Make or Break Your Brewery
    Mar 23 2025

    Send us a text

    In this episode of Kali Kat Tap Talks, we dive deep into the make-or-break factor most new breweries overlook—distribution. From passionate start-ups to once-thriving breweries that fizzled out, we explore how delivery mishaps, poor partnerships, and overlooked logistics have led to the downfall of some beloved beer brands.

    You’ll hear real-world examples of breweries that struggled due to mismanaged distribution and learn just how many breweries closed last year compared to those that opened. But it’s not all doom and gloom—we also spotlight powerful marketing tactics that do work. From limited-release hype to creating a true destination experience, we break down how some small breweries have turned scarcity and storytelling into gold.

    Whether you're a beer enthusiast, future taproom owner, or just love the hustle behind the hops, this episode is your blueprint for what to watch—and what to build—before you pour that first pint.

    🍻 Tune in and discover how the right plan can turn your beer into a legacy.
