— Why trust BBN

Built by operators, not observers.

BBN was founded by Sam Anderson — a beverage industry consultant who's spent his career in the field with brokers, distributors, and brands. The network runs on infrastructure from the companies he operates and partners with every day: Ruby Pro Software for beverage CRM, Frontline Beverage for national sales execution, BevAssets for deal infrastructure, and the DrinkUp Podcast for industry strategy.

No venture mandate. No engagement algorithms. Just the industry's operating layer, built by people who carry bags.

— Questions

Everything people ask before joining.

What is the Beverage Broker Network?

BBN is the operating network for the beverage industry — a national community connecting beverage brokers, distributors, suppliers, operators, investors, and service providers. Inside you'll find a live community feed, a job board, a member directory, an industry events calendar, and a marketplace of vetted partners.

How much does it cost?

Nothing. BBN is free forever for founding members — full access to every feature, no credit card, no trial clock. As the network grows we may add optional premium tiers, but founding members keep their access.

Who should join?

Anyone building in beverage: independent brokers and rep groups, distributors of every size, suppliers and emerging brands, retail and on-premise operators, investors hunting for deal flow, and the service providers who keep the industry running.

Who's behind BBN?

BBN is built by beverage industry operators alongside founding partners Ruby Pro Software (CRM built for beverage sales teams), Frontline Beverage (national rep network), BevAssets (deal infrastructure), and the DrinkUp Podcast.

What can I do once I'm in?

Post to the community feed, share wins and market intel, comment on other members' posts, browse and post jobs, submit industry events, find members by role and region, and connect directly with partners and peers.

How do beverage brands find brokers on BBN?

Post a territory opening to the community feed or search the member directory by role ("Broker / Sales Agent") and region. Brokers actively hunting new lines monitor the feed daily — most brand posts get responses within the first day.

How do brokers find new brands to represent?

Watch the Opportunities filter on the community feed, where suppliers post open territories and rep searches. You can also build out your BBN profile with your territory and categories so brands searching the directory find you first.

Is BBN only for alcohol, or all beverage categories?

All of beverage — beer, wine, spirits, RTDs, non-alcoholic, functional drinks, coffee, and emerging categories. If it pours, it belongs here.

The network is forming now.
Your number is waiting.

Founding membership is free, permanent, and numbered in join order. The beverage industry runs on relationships — start building yours where the whole industry is gathering.
