2026 Tamarron Brewer Partnership Compass Survey

The 2026 Brewer Partnership Compass is here!

Brewers have been relying on Tamarron’s Brewer Partnership Compass for 27 years to steer the direction of, and measure their progress against distributor relationships and initiatives! You’ve no doubt read about results and also heard directly from included suppliers what key initiatives have come about because of the survey; your suppliers are also measuring the impact of changes they’ve made in this year’s results.

We’ve added/subtracted a number of questions based on distributor feedback in 2025 with the end results being essentially the same number of questions on the survey:

Re-positioned certain open-ended questions into numerical rating questions to save time;
Supplemented eCommerce questions to add more depth;
Removed and/or simplified questions to provide more specific targeting for suppliers;
Updated Communication and Relationship questions to topics that are more important to distributors.

As always, in order to enable a truer read of their performance:

For ABI – only select ABI as a supplier if you carry their core portfolio (e.g., Budweiser, Bud Light, Mich Ultra, etc.)
For Molson Coors – only select Molson Coors as a brewer if you carry either or both of Miller Lite or Coors Light brands

As in years past, we suggest that the individual sections be completed by their respective senior leaders (if possible), or a cross-sectional group of senior leaders, to grant a more specialized view of brewer performance.

Your candid input is vital to the value of this tool! As always, our participating brewers are awaiting your feedback to measure their progress and find more opportunities to improve their performance with their distributor partners. Brewers do not receive individual responses, nor do they know which distributors responded on their behalf. We strongly encourage you to be fair and honest in your assessment of brewers.

We hope you will continue the tradition and take the time to fill out this year’s survey. For those distributors that fill out the survey, we will e-mail a copy of your survey response as well as the summary results when the survey has concluded.

For your input to be included in the results, we must receive your response via mail, email (tamarron@tamconsulting.com), or online by May 15, 2025. The most efficient method of responding is the online link.

As part of Tamarron’s policy of confidentiality, your company’s name will never be identified with its related data. All responses will be kept strictly confidential.
