Iconoclast brewers
Food & Wine magazine hands out its “Tastemaker Awards” in the November issue. These go to “Top young talents who’ve changed the world of food and wine by age 35″ and include Fredrick Bensch and Kevin McNerney of Sweetwater Brewing in Atlanta, Georgia.
The magazine tags them “Iconclast Brewers” and quotes Bensch on a simple distribution strategy: “We keep it local—plus the towns where we like to go fishing.”
