(Chicago, IL) – The just-launched Veteran Beer Company got some serious media play on Fox News for Thanksgiving. The company, which only employs veterans, currently has beer available in Illinois and Indiana through Monarch Beverage.
That will change next year when the company rolls out in further markets. The company is only selling 500 cases in its first two months as it gets its feet wet but has plans to sell 200,000 cases next year.
According to the broadcast, the unemployment rate for all veterans is at 20% but for disabled veterans, in particular, the rate is 88%.
