About this episode
In episode 15 of the Brewbound Podcast, Woods Beer Co. founder Jim Woods discusses his company's shift from a distribution-focused business model to a retail-minded operation. He also talks about the difficulty of trying to build a new product segment – in his case yerba mate-infused beer – and the challenges small breweries face now that thousands of competitors have flooded the space. Also in this episode: Brewbound editors Chris Furnari and Justin Kendall share the latest news, including information about new co-packing facility in New Hampshire, details about equipment manufacturer DME's receivership, and an update on Drizly's latest round of funding.
