Terrapin Brewing has enjoyed pretty much exponential growth since their inception in 2002. Here in 2011, the brewery has a strong demand in the markets they are currently in. How much demand?
BSJ interviewed John Cochran, Co-Founder of Terrapin. Here’s what’s coming up with our favorite turtle:
Distributor have but in orders for 30,000 barrels, when Terrapin can only produce just shy of 20,000. A great situation to be in. With this in mind, the the brewery will not be entering an new markets in the next 2-3 years. The next few years will be dedicated to meeting demand.
In the fall, when money becomes available, the brewery plans to purchase some more fermenters.
