Daniel Frankel, Founder & CEO of Tap & Barrel Group joins us for a conversation exploring Canada's craft beer scene. In just under ten years, Tap & Barrel Group has become the largest purchaser of craft beer in the B.C. province of Canada. The restaurants are well known for their marquee locations, environmental stewardship (they've eliminated a whopping 1 million bottles and their locations are built using 80% reclaimed materials), and commitment to supporting local purveyors of food, beverages, and art. If you love the craft beer world, you won't want to miss this one! In this episode, Zach and Claudia also talk about the rise of booze-to-go, e-commerce and the ups and downs of alcohol delivery.
