Now that Bill is on board, we have one of the most experienced senior leadership teams in the industry,” said SweetWater Founder Freddy Bensch. “I’m proud of the phenomenal business we’ve created, and look forward to drawing from Kim and Bill’s knowledge and experience to take SweetWater to the next level. We have plenty more streams to fish and I believe that Kim and Bill are the right team to deliver our brews to more good folks who love great beer.”
