We have highlighted craft beer careers in the North Eastern part of the country quite a bit over the last year, and for good reason. The scene is hot, hot, hot, and there are jobs, jobs, jobs. From the innovative craft brewers opening and growing in the area to the forward-thinking craft beer distributors who work tirelessly to ensure the shelves are stocked, it could be argued that the New England craft beer industry is at the forefront of the movement.
One of the players ensuring that the craft beer category maintains its current trajectory forward is Burke Distributing out of the Boston Area. Part of the Massachusetts Beverage Alliance, Burke Distributing has been a pioneer of the distribution of beer in the state since 1935. Founder, Walter Burke, saw a need and evolved his grocer business into a distribution business after the end of prohibition. For a time, Burke’s business was even involved in the bottling of California wine before turning focus solely on beer. Today, Burke Distributing focuses on a large portfolio of beer and craft beer as well as craft cider, spirits, and non alcoholic.
