  • Best in the Biz!

    I’m a Regional Manager for an FMB Supplier and I log a lot of miles each year driving to see all of my distributors. Beernet Radio is one of the best ways to help me keep up with the latest happenings in our industry while I’m on the go and I always learn something new with every interview. I’ve been a fan of Harry since the first time I read BBD and it’s always nice to hear everyone on the BBD team give their take on things. They do a great job of recognizing hot trends and the smaller supplier... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ep. 314 Justin Fisch of US Beverage
Q: Are you surprised at how distributors taking on spirits has gone, and how do you see on-premise versus off-premise growth?
Justin discusses distributor enthusiasm for expanding into spirits, driven by higher profit pools and portfolio breadth, and confirms a deliberate, staged approach to expanding in on-premise before broader market rollouts.
Ep. 314 Justin Fisch of US Beverage
Q: Can you give an update on Malibu Splash?
He explains Malibu Splash was sunset by Pernod Ricard after the contract expired, creating a void that the firm plans to fill with other FMBs and upcoming spirit RTD products, while continuing to pursue a strategic balance between FMBs and spirits.
Ep. 314 Justin Fisch of US Beverage
Q: I have to ask about Rogue, switching gears a little bit, because ... they filed for chapter seven bankruptcy. Did you see this coming, and is this a symptom of broader craft challenges?
Justin expresses surprise and disappointment, recalling US Beverage's prior work with Rogue in the 1990s and again in 2023, and hopes for fewer such disruptions in the industry as brand saturation continues to pose challenges.
Ep. 314 Justin Fisch of US Beverage
Q: Awesome. Well, let's just start off asking about your to-date highlights that you can share just about how the business is going.
Justin notes that 2025 has been difficult for the broader beer industry but highlights strong performance in their core imports, notable partnerships with Woodchuck, Brooklyn, Captain Lawrence, and a rapid expansion of the Uintah facility's capabilities, plus ongoing double-digit growth in premium brands and a robust 360-degree distribution model.
Ep. 319 Bill Shufelt of Athletic Brewing
Q: When is the next major step for fundraising or facility expansion?
There are no big breaking news plans; the team intends to continue expanding internationally and growing the business while maintaining focus on core brands and long-term goals.
