Shipping Solutions for Craft Breweries

More than just a beverage, craft beer is a thoughtfully developed product that reflects a brewery’s passion and creativity. Once brewed and packaged, ensuring the beer arrives fresh and intact is just as important as the brewing process itself.  Whether you’re a small brewery looking to self-distribute or need reliable freight services to get your beer to wholesalers or retailers, our beer shipping solutions have you covered!

Why Quality Shipping is Crucial for Craft Breweries

Distribution is a key part of the business, and every step in the process can impact your product’s success. Whether you’re self-distributing locally or working with a beer distributor or wholesaler, the shipping method you choose plays a vital role in the quality of the final product your customers will enjoy. Craft beer needs to be handled with care, from temperature control to secure transport, to make sure it reaches consumers in perfect condition.

Craft Beer Logistics Made Simple

For smaller breweries, distribution can be a challenge. You’ve worked hard to craft something special, and now it’s time to share it with the world. But whether you’re delivering directly to local retailers or partnering with a wholesaler, reliable transportation is crucial to preserving the integrity of your beer. We offer refrigerated Less-Than-Truckload (LTL) services that allow you to transport smaller shipments efficiently and affordably, whether you’re delivering kegs, pallets, or cans. 


In states that allow beer self-distribution, Advantage Transportation is your go-to partner to help get your product from your brewery to bars, restaurants, and retailers. And if self-distribution isn’t an option, we’ll get your beer to your wholesaler safely and on time, helping you reach new customers without the hassle of managing complex shipping logistics.

When it comes to craft beer, temperature is everything. We know that even the slightest fluctuations can affect your product’s taste, carbonation, and overall quality. That’s why our fleet is equipped with temperature-controlled vehicles, ensuring your beer arrives in the same perfect condition as when it left your brewery. From cross-state small deliveries to larger shipments, we take every precaution to protect your craft.

Our secure, anti-theft fleet protects your cargo from pickup to delivery. With high safety ratings, world-class drivers, and a proven track record, you can trust us to deliver your beer safely and securely every time. We know your craft beer is more valuable than its monetary value alone – it represents all the time, thought, and energy poured into every drop. When cargo theft is on the rise, beer and alcohol shipments are a popular target, as these are relatively easy to resell on the black market. 

Smaller craft breweries may have very limited product availability, which why it’s important to only entrust your beer to the Beer and Wine Shipping Specialists. We have over 40 years of experience providing secure, reliable, and timely shipments, specializing in the alcoholic beverage industry.
