Case histories cover both the On and Off Premise (On and Off Trade) channels while showing the reader how to analzye the market and the competition to gain entry into the very challenging US alcohol marketplace. The author holds a masters degree in marketing and has been published by the American Marketing Association.

Review From Bob Stahl - Former President of DBI Beverage and Golden Brands Distributing Mark Colburn has developed into an inquisitive thinker and marketer of beer. He is continually searching for creative ways and distinctive methods to develop beer brands. He has become a student of the beer industry over the past decade and constantly uses his marketing background and focus to trumpet the KDA's of beer brands. Check out his new book to expand your knowledge of the beer industry and learn new ways to see how brands are built! From Jim Koch - Chairman, Boston Beer Company Mark and has spent many years in the Bay Area marketing and distributing some of America's leading craft beers. He is passionate and thoughtful about craft beer. From Sir Alistair Hunter, KCMG, former Director of Trade and Investment - The Americas As Britain's Director-General of Trade and Investment in the United States for four and a half years, I have seen the work of Mark Colburn at both first and second hand. Mark's efforts at helping UK companies in the food and beverage industry have been outstanding. He has brought to his work unbounded enthusiasm, complete dedication and in-depth knowledge, which he continues to replenish, of the United States food and beverage industry, at all levels. From Joseph Frankel, Regional Sales Manager, Mendocino Brewing Company I have worked with Mark for ten years and have not met anyone that has the creative marketing energy and passion that he has. I have no clue how he comes up with his ideas but they have certainly helped Mendocino Brewing. In this book you will learn beverage marketing and distribution. The real life case histories that Mark shares will provide you with ideas and methods to succeed in this tough beverage environment. I strongly recommend this book for any beverage professional.
