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.
