Fred Einstein

Fred is a veteran alcoholic beverage sales professional. He's a pro at recognizing and building categories in the Imported Beer, Craft Beer, Cider and Specialty Spirits business for 30 years. I have guided domestic and international clients/suppliers in all aspects of the sales and marketing cycle for beer, cider, wine, and spirits in markets across the U.S. for more than 30 years. I have built a portfolio of imported beers and spirits from Europe, Latin America, India, and Africa that offer unique culture community brands. Throughout my career, I have recognized changes in market trends and consumer behaviors that often let my clients be first-to-market in introducing new brands and portfolios. My network of large, medium, and boutique distributors drives growth and sales revenue for my clients. Since moving to Texas and reopening 21st Century Brands of Distinction in 2021, I have expanded my areas of influence and placed new brands while working in a turbulent economy and adapting to supply chain issues. My industry experience and network gives me access to distributors throughout the U.S. They listen to my proposals and recommendations because I provide them with brands that help their businesses grow. I would love to talk to you about how I can help bring your brands to market. I can be contacted by phone at (773) 517-8176 or by email at f.einstein@comcast.net Independent broker since 1992.
