What Pro Brew Supply does

Pro Brew Supply is a US-based B2B distributor of brewing ingredients and equipment, serving licensed professional breweries and homebrew supply retailers nationwide. Its catalog spans raw inputs (malts, hops, yeast, adjuncts) and hardware (fittings, draft equipment, cleaning chemicals), sourced from both domestic producers and exclusive import partnerships. The company evolved from Stubby's Texas Brewing (founded 2011) and was restructured under the Pro Brew Supply brand in 2017.

Operations are organized around three regional warehouses: a Fort Worth, Texas headquarters expanded to more than 40,000 square feet in October 2024, a Chicagoland distribution center opened in May 2023, and an Atlanta facility. The company holds exclusive US distribution rights for Germany's Spalter Hopfen (signed October 2025) and the UK's French & Jupps maltster (October 2024), alongside a distribution agreement with Yakima Quality Hops (October 2019). Same-day shipping for orders placed before the daily cutoff, flat-rate LTL pallet logistics, and Brewers Association–endorsed supplier positioning round out the operating model.

The business runs on a pay-as-you-go wholesale pricing model accessed through a B2B e-commerce portal that requires TTB-permit-based account verification. Revenue mechanics are transactional and account-based, with no disclosed subscription or contracted-volume structure. The company is bootstrapped, privately held, and operates with a small (1–10 employee) team. Forward intent includes an East Coast distribution center to complete a national three-coast footprint.
