From Altered Craft Distribution

Dear Tampa Bay Craft Beer Community,

It is with a mix of emotions that we announce the closure of Altered Craft Distribution after three unforgettable years. Our journey in the world of craft beer has been nothing short of extraordinary, and we want to take a moment to express our deepest gratitude to everyone has supported our dream and passion.

To our incredible team, past and present, your dedication and hard work have been the heartbeat of Altered Craft. Each and every single one of you brought a unique passion and commitment for craft beer and extreme dedication to our core principles that created a work environment that will be cherished in our memories forever. We are incredibly proud of the work you have done for our company and all the breweries and small businesses in our portfolio.

To our brewery and beverage partners, thank you so much for putting your trust into our small startup company to build your brands and bring them to the market. While this part of our journey is ending, we hope that you all can continue in your paths to growing amazing breweries that make some of the best products the area has to offer. Jacob and I can’t wait to share a beer with you in the days to come.

We will have limited operations through the end of January to clear out any remaining inventory. As we close this chapter, we reflect on the countless relationships built within the Tampa Bay craft beer scene. Your support has been the driving force behind our venture, and we are honored to have been part of such a dynamic and passionate community.

Our decision to close Altered Craft Distribution comes with an extremely heavy heart, but we are proud of the legacy we leave behind with our mission to challenge the status quo and take on the big guys in the industry. We raise a glass to the memories, the partnerships, and the countless moments of celebration shared with you all.

Cheers to Tampa Bay and the craft beer family that has made these three years truly special.

With heartfelt gratitude,
Mike, Jacob, Cory, Marc, & Ian
