-SAM is heavily dependent on about 400 wholesale distributors sell to retailers (pubs, restaurants, grocery chains) -These distributors are the same distributors used by AB InBev and SABMiller and are often influenced by these larger companies. -SAM holds this same distribution advantage over smaller regional breweries. -Distributors can terminate service on very short notice and there is no guarantee SAM could find other distributors offering comparable prices. Beer is produced at breweries The second tier is distribution. Producers will often provide exclusive rights to a certain company to distribute its product to different retailers, and the post-prohibition landscape usually makes distributors powerful entities within each individual state. This reduces competition and can raise prices, since fewer distributors mean less incentive to reduce prices. Some states also have regulations further defining the relationship between the brewer and a distributor, even going as to legally bind a brewer to a distributor. This can create a headache for consumers since disputes between brewers and distributors can result in certain beers becoming unavailable in an area. The third tier is retail. This is the point at which the general consumer can purchase the product, whether that be a grocery store, bar or state-regulated vendor. As with many things, there is an exception: brewpubs - restaurants or pubs that produce beer on site for sale on site.
