Since 2015 developing new markets for breweries. The Hoppy Traders connects importers and distributors to breweries.
Vision
With a new market that’s growing as fast as this one, it’s inevitable that challenges will arise. As avid craft beer enthusiasts, the founders of The Hoppy Traders observed distribution as the main bottleneck to access for some of the finest craft and artisan beers in the world.
Many of these small, independent microbreweries have limited distribution channels. Most of them would only be able to sell within their local region unless they managed to convince a distributor to begin delivering their beer to outside retailers.
That doesn’t happen often. In most cases, existing distributors focus on volume, which means the small micro-breweries simply can’t compete with the mass-market beer brands. Overcoming this is what helped create The Hoppy Traders.
Mission
Our mission is to provide micro-breweries with broader access to the growing market of consumers, to offer consumers the opportunity to discover and enjoy the full complement of craft beer and flavors being created around the world.
We envision a world that has full access to the exceptional craft beers only locals have had in years past. A world with an open market will provide even more exceptional tastes for generations to come.
