Brown Distribution layoffs

Time to liven up this metro

Sentinel Story

Oversaturation in the market? The big liquor stores (ABC, Total Wine) have way too many brands on the shelves. There is no way Erie Brewing and Left Hand are moving that much.

Sheesh. That sucks. I know a few people that work for Brown. Although, I guess now they work for FDC

Brown just sold itself off to a much larger distributor. This isn’t oversaturation, as much as it is consolidation. It sucks to be losing Brown like this, though, since they were the only real small-business craft distributor around Florida. They had grown a lot, but they made all of their money from craft.
