How are brands selected? What information are you looking for?Updated 4 months ago

We find brands by shopping local stores, researching trade organizations and memberships, deep-diving on social media, and asking for recommendations (possibly from you).  The first thing we do is taste or test everything. If we wouldn’t buy it, it doesn’t pass go. At the same time, we hold it up to our Hive Five criteria to see how it stacks up. Then, for anything approved, we look at how it fits with the current assortment in terms of flavors, price points, and all that other good stuff.
