DENVER, May 06, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- While in every industry there will be competition and competing points of view, leaders of truly great industries continuously seek to find and stand on common ground.  It is for this reason that MicroStar Logistics and the National Beer Wholesalers Association (NBWA) are proud to announce their new multi-year partnership.  Through this partnership, MicroStar will expand its advocacy of programs that benefit all of beer such as advancing quality and safety initiatives and finding ways to drive efficiencies and growth across the beer supply chain.

“For decades, MicroStar has built relationships with virtually all of our member distributors and their brewers and importers. This new partnership is a natural extension of their long-term commitment to the distributor tier of the beer industry,” said Craig Purser, NBWA’s President and CEO.  “The beer industry as a whole creates 2.23 million jobs and contributes $350 billion to our economy… it is a tremendous responsibility to protect this workforce and grow our collective economic impact.  We commend MicroStar’s ongoing effort to do their part to support the health of the entire beer industry.” 

“We know the beer industry would not be what it is today without the hard work of the thousands of independent beer distributors and the leadership of the NBWA,” said MicroStar’s President and CEO, Michael Hranicka. “We take our responsibility to the beer community seriously and are excited to expand into a more strategic role with the NBWA to advance initiatives that benefit all three tiers of this great industry.”

With this announcement, MicroStar is now a strategic partner with all three of the national beer trade organizations: the NBWA, the Brewers Association, and the Beer Institute.  Each of these pioneering organizations have built strong track records of success representing their members while finding ways to collaborate for the betterment of beer.
