In today's episode, I had the pleasure of sitting down with the CEO of Inbox Beverage Company, Mr. Max Fann. We delved into the exciting world of container breweries, wineries, distilleries, and cideries. Max shared his vision and success stories of transforming shipping containers into functional and stylish beverage establishments. They have already deployed some of these containers, including a 20-foot cold box for a brewery in Charlotte and a dog-friendly bar in South Asheville.

Max surprised me with a taste of their imported tequila, which was smooth, subtly smoky, and had a delightful fruit-forward flavor. We discussed Inbox's expansion into bulk spirits sales and their commitment to providing ongoing support and training to their customers. It was an enlightening conversation that showcased the innovative solutions Inbox offers to the craft beverage industry.

"What makes Inbox pretty unique is we can provide the unit. This turnkey facility, our model is half the time, half the cost, because you're not building a facility."
