E104: Why Every Dollar Counts with Eric Ruta of Craft Brewery Purchasing Organization
In this episode of The True Craft Podcast, we sit down with Eric Ruta, owner and founder of Magnify Brewing, to talk about his side project that’s making a big impact: the Craft Brewery Purchasing Organization (CBPO).
Eric started CBPO to help breweries (including his own) score better pricing on raw materials, packaging, and labels.
Some highlights include:
* How CBPO members are cutting costs by up to $40K a year
* The shift from limited releases to core beers—and what that means for your bottom line
* What potential tariffs could mean for the immediate future of the brewing community
Eric breaks it all down, from bulk-buying benefits to how breweries of all sizes can make smarter purchasing decisions in 2025.
