Red White and Brew, taking the industry to Europe

In a recent article published by ale street online, the impressive story of a new beer exporting program, became nationwide beer knowledge. The EDP or Export Development Program, was created in order to promote international trade, as well as build relationships with importers and distributors abroad; as to create a matchmaker between domestic breweries and thirsty europeans.
The program has been so successful, the numbers have easily surpassed the 15% growth goal set by the appropriate committees. What this tells us, is that Europeans certainly know their beers. The EDP program is speciffically designed for Craft Beers of the US. Some of the names included in the project thus far are Brooklyn Brewery, Rougue Ales, Left Hand Brewing in Colorado, among many others. Cricket Hill will potentially join the program within a year or two as well. However that is all dependent on our loyal drinkers to help us grow.
