Note from CAS President, Sam Holloway: About once per month I get asked if CAS can help distilleries. The truth is, I’m not sure. It’s hard enough for me to keep current on the beer industry, but I also know that craft distilleries need a voice and need access to business wisdom. I’m thrilled to announce our newest Member Expert Blogger, Lenny Gotter. Lenny founded Eastside Distilling and took that company from an idea inside his own head into a publicly traded and industry leading craft distillery.

I believe that industry consolidation may be the death throes of mature industries as they struggle to compete with America’s return to a more entrepreneurial, craft economy.

I get asked a lot to give advice on how craft breweries can respond to the moves being made by AB InBev and what the future may look like for small independent craft breweries.
