The Tamarron Malt Beverage Supplier Performance Survey, revealing distributors' rating of suppliers, just hit yesterday. A total of 244 distributors responded to the survey, representing about 35% of 2014 total U.S. malt beverage industry volume. Survey questions are "aligned with responsibilities of suppliers and distributors as defined by a panel of industry leaders from both tiers" per usual, with a couple new questions and a section on the future "changes to tier roles."
