Breaking the Label Bottleneck: How to Simplify Printing for Breweries
Q: Andrew, how would you describe the core problem breweries face with label printing today?
Breweries are hit with minimum order quantities, hidden fees, long lead times, and painful proofs. Craft Brew Prints addresses this with flat pricing, a $50 minimum, fast 48-72 hour turnarounds, and a streamlined platform that lets you order in seconds and reorder with a few clicks.
Bench Brewing’s Sustainability Journey
Q: So Matt, define BCorp for us, what that means for a brewery.
BCorp stands for 'benefit for all' and is a certification focusing on five pillars: community, environment, governance, customers, and employees. Bench pursued it to create a company for good, with transparency and continuous improvement as central goals.
Creating and Funding Growth in a Challenging Market
Q: What is the biggest mistake breweries make when expanding, and how should they approach growth?
The guest warns against expanding too quickly, overcommitting resources, or chasing distribution without validating demand, and stresses maintaining working capital and staged growth to reduce risk.
Creating and Funding Growth in a Challenging Market
Q: How can a small brewery capitalize on opportunities and what financing options are available right now?
He outlines multiple financing routes beyond traditional banks, including equipment loans, working capital loans, equity from friends and family, and merchant cash advances, emphasizing speed, risk management, and aligning with cash flow and collateral considerations.
Creating and Funding Growth in a Challenging Market
Q: Are there any beers or beverages you've had recently that stood out to you, and what stood out about them?
