Over the past decade, the craft distilling movement has exploded to include over 1800 small-batch distillers in the United States, some 250 in the UK, and nearly 200 in Canada. Yet despite this apparent growth, craft distilling has not managed to take a commanding piece of the beverage alcohol market share. Successfully making beverage alcohol takes more than passion. It demands a solid working knowledge of the science that underpins raw material selection, water chemistry adjustments, yeast microbiology, the fermentation cycle, the physics of fractional distillation, and the ageing reactions that occur in an oak cask. Once a craft beverage alcohol has been created, it must successfully be marketed. The subtle strategic nuances of the marketing process are almost as complex as the science of making the alcohol itself.
