Carolina Craft Distributing was started in 2007 with only three people. Our primary focus is on-premise and specialty retail customers. Quality control sets us apart in servicing these customers. By having a climate controlled warehouse, refrigerated cooler for all draft, and refrigerated delivery trucks, we are able to deliver a keg at 5:00 p.m. on a Friday for the customer to tap immediately. Our primary on-premise focus is the portfolio of specialty beers and wines that we represent. These great suppliers are all small to medium size. We don’t represent any major brands who would demand a large share of our company's time and resources. We take pride in our knowledge of our company’s product list. We are not simply order-takers. At Carolina Craft we require our entire staff to do one in-store promotion per week from 4 – 7 PM and/or one on-premise promotion. We put our products directly into the consumer’s hands. |
