Why do Irish brands struggle in the US?

Many Irish brands successfully secure a distributor or land a few early accounts, but growth often stalls afterward.

Common challenges include:

• lack of on-the-ground representation

• limited understanding of the U.S. three-tier distribution system

• difficulty maintaining distributor engagement

• limited sales follow-up with accounts

• high competition in a crowded market

BUA was created to bridge this gap and ensure brands maintain momentum after launch.

How is BUA different from a distributor?

A distributor focuses on logistics and product distribution.

BUA focuses on building the brand and generating demand by:

• helping secure the right distributor relationships

• supporting sales into accounts

• building awareness among bartenders, buyers, and consumers

However, we also work with brands that are already in the U.S. but struggling to gain traction.
