You can't fully enjoy sweater weather without sipping on a sweet, crisp c***r! 🍎

Learn how Flavorman came to partner with the artisanal c***r brand, Crispin, when their team needed support with technical processes, manufacturing, and quality control. Flavorman strengthened Crispin C***r's brand by ensuring technical integrity and securing 100% of its flavor requirements.

Owner Joe Heron then disrupted the craft b**r scene with Crispin Hard C***r, achieving 200% growth for the brand in 2011. This exponential success led to MillerCoors' acquisition of Joe's company in 2012.

Flavorman tightened up their products for Crispin so they could build and grow the brand without worries regarding technical and manufacturing integrity.
