OUR PARTNERS

When identifying potential brand partnerships, we prioritize integrity, passion and reliability of brand leadership in addition to whether the brand is positioned to be successful in the market. Unfortunately, we are not able to partner long term with every brand we have the opportunity of meeting, but we are very proud of our brand partnerships!

"Vertical Beverage Group (VBG) has been an outstanding partner for us. They are professional and do a great job handling all facets of what's needed in this complex business of the alcohol beverage industry. Between their extensive knowledge and connections - not to mention they're accounting and logistics resources - they have the ability to help any brand grow to the next level. They're an integral part of our brand - and they truly feel like our teammates."

Bob & Zach Brinley, Shipwreck Rum
“In today’s extremely competitive and ever evolving environment; independent, emerging brands need more tools than ever to succeed. However, emerging brands rarely have the financial resources available to support the growth in all areas that are needed. Vertical Group provides a range of shared resources from the c-suite to feet on the street. Their expertise in planning and executing strategic and tactical plans was gained directly from being in the trenches and growing a brand to over 300K cases. The relationships and experience gained along the way are all part of the solutions that Vertical Group provides Hiatus and other clients. Through this relationship, we are not only able to stretch our resources much further, but also have access to tools that we simply wouldn’t have otherwise.”

Kristopher DeSoto, Hiatus Founder and CEO
“Vertical Beverage Group has not just met our expectations, but far exceeded it. The care and attentiveness that Vertical Beverage Group takes in the brands they work with is truly what sets them apart. Their expertise in the industry has completely lifted my company & navigated us to a whole new level of success.”
