About Us
More than 25 years ago, the Coors Brewing Company created…
Knowledge Exchange Groups, or “KEGs”
bringing together like-minded, forward-thinking beer distributors to share best practices, go-to-market strategies, and value-added ideas. The members of “KEG 1” made up the first of these
Knowledge Exchange Groups.
In 2005, the idea surfaced to continue KEG 1 beyond
the initial purpose of sharing best practices.
​
With approximately 500 years of combined industry experience, members of the KEG joined together to bring a competitive advantage to an ever increasingly challenged industry through KEG 1, LLC.
​
Currently, KEG 1 partners collectively sell over
120mm cases of beer, wine and spirits!
