Otherwise Brewing sees record account growth in 2023Q1

SAN FRANCISCO - April 18, 2023 - PRLog -- Otherwise Brewing notched a number of notable milestones in the first quarter of 2023. Most notably, the company saw very strong account growth, broke its previous record for on-premise sales, and completed onboardings with two major chain retailers, Whole Foods and Mollie Stone's.

Asked about these successes, Otherwise CEO and co-founder Aaron Gervais stated, "We've really honed our sales outreach process to connect with qualified prospects. The liquid speaks for itself, so once we get in front of the right buyers, things move very quickly."

These wins came about despite what was generally a weak quarter for Bay Area alcohol businesses, with sales depressed by Dry January behaviors and the wettest California winter in over 40 years.

In addition to these sales milestones, Otherwise also launched a crowdfunding campaign for the opening of its new taproom, on Polk Street in San Francisco. By the end of the quarter, the campaign had amassed over $50,000 in investments.

Moving forward into Q2, Otherwise intends to resume farmers market sales at the Marin Sunday Market and ramp up production to meet expected summer demand. The company is also planning to expand its distribution footprint outward from its Bay Area home market to other metro areas in Northern California.
