That's why Urban South was all in from day 1.

This whole self distribute discussion is basically for local distribution?
Basically, yes. It's more intended for home markets.
Or for special events or releases, like craft beer week.

They had someone to bankroll them. Not sure how impressive it is to be all in with someone elses money.

I know, that's what I meant.

Self distribution allows you to grow your company organically and if they product is good enough, the distributor can help you reach a wider audience. As it stands now, you either go all in with the help of investors (urban south) or you sell growlers and pints and stay small (courtyard).

I think Parish got hella lucky with timing and Canebreak, but from how he tells it Andrew just worked his arse off brewing while maintaining a day job and pissing off the distributor.
Just after making it to BR with Canebreak (draft not bottles) he made some comment about getting to that point cost him right at $750k. Ghost wasn't a thing and Grand Reserve had only been released once (not sure it was distributed).

Thank you for taking the time to explain it and the reasons behind it.

Absolutely.
From my understanding of it, people loved his homebrewed canebrake so much, it basically encouraged him to open a brewery and make a living out of it.
I remember the first time i went to parish, he was operating out of a garage, no idea what year that was, but it was a few months after they first opened.

Don't you support those distrubutors every time you buy a beer off the shelf or pimp their products for them?
I usually don't drink much beer at home, although I should, because I have a cellar that's getting out of control.
I drink more beer at my place in Denver than I do when at home in Portland because the density of taprooms is less (at least in Broomfield, where I live).

Only point is that it is easy to ride a high horse when you are passing on mediocre beers.
Not so easy to be noble when you want to access quality beers easily.

I buy as much beer as logistically possible directly from the breweries. My fridge right now has beer from Tin Roof, Gnarly Barley and Urban South purchased directly from said breweries. There are times when I have to buy from the retail supply chain if I want to drink that beer.
But to the original point, I don't want to support the InBev owned breweries, so I won't buy their beers. So far, I don't really feel like I'm missing out on anything.

You're talking to a guy who will drink at 10 Barrel...
I will go to the brewery. It still has local people brewing beer that I can't get anywhere else. I'm with B in that I don't buy the distro lineup from InBev's portfolio. I don't want to support their whole slimey distribution scheme. However, the people at the local brewpub don't even think of themselves as working for InBev, and I support them (not often, but occasionally).
