LOUISVILLE, Ky. – Two former Lagunitas Brewing Company executives joined Cornbread Hemp’s advisory board. Ron Lindenbusch and Greg Merideth were part of the team that lead craft brewer Lagunitas from startup in 1995 to its billion-dollar acquisition by Heineken N.V. in 2015.
Lindenbusch was Lagunitas’ second employee, leading sales and marketing in the early years and eventually serving as chief marketing officer during his 23 years with the company. He played a crucial role in building relationships with distributors and retailers and understanding how to effectively price and position the brand, helping transform Lagunitas from a local brewery into the fifth-largest craft brewery in the United States.
Merideth served for ten years as senior vice president of sales, where he built and managed the company’s 200-person sales team and established a worldwide distribution network for the one-million-barrel brand.
Cornbread distributes a line of hemp-infused CBD and THC products, including beverages, across twelve states
