The Beer Institute's Jim McGreevy moderated a panel of distinguished distributors at their annual convention this week in Portland, each of whom is on a major suppliers' distributor councils (ED NOTE: Significantly, we note that Tim Mitchell of Suncoast Beverage in FL replaced Philip Mullin of Adams Beverage as A-B's Wholesaler Panel Chairman Emeritus. You'll recall that Adams was passed over last week in purchasing a distributorship in Mississippi).
