Distributor Profile: JJ Taylor Minnesota

Dear Client:J.J. Taylor, with operations in Florida and Minnesota, is one of the largest beer distributors in the country. We caught up with Minnesota branch president, Mike Bamonti, on big craft gains, shrinking price gaps, Miller Lite draft and their eye for acquisitions. Mike's YTD trends have mirrored many others' -- down a selling day recently, but otherwise slightly up. Craft is really helping. "If there's a craft supplier that we're down with it's because we can't get enough product,"
