The ever-increasing competitive market is making craft-beer movers and shakers keep up with the times. That means not only in the styles of beer they are making but in how they are doing business.
B.J. Solomon, who operates Iron Heart Canning in multiple regions, has expanded his mobile-unit business to also handle non-beer products – including drinks with cannabis.
Two years ago he said his mobile equipment, which he takes to breweries without dedicated canning lines, handled about 80% breweries and 20% other businesses. Now, he said, that ratio is 50-50.
“It’s been a wild ride,” he said. “All good.”
