I'm a small retailer in Haines, Alaska. I had the good fortune to get a decent selection of DFH last year, and now my distributor (Odom Corp., Seattle) is only stocking a few flavors...meanwhile, my customer's tastes are getting more sophisticated by the day. Is this an allocation issue, or do I need to threaten my distributor with grievous bodily harm?
Here's hat I found on their website under distributors:
Do Ya Wanna Wholesale Dogfish?We currently have a network of 50-plus wholesalers across the country that bring Dogfish Head beers to a retailer near you (hopefully!). Our wholesalers cover part or most of 25-plus states. Now, we are more than aware that this great country of ours has 50 states, but we’re just not there yet! We’re brewing as fast as we can… as we catch up to demand with our current wholesalers, we’ll add more wholesalers or states to that footprint. In the meantime, we’re happy to accept inquiries from interested wholesalers. If you are an interested wholesaler, please send your inquiry to info@dogfish.comCheers!
You can give them a phone call directly to ask about how to move more of the Dogfish Product through your distributor as well: 302 684 1000
Good luck!
