    Mountain Man

    Mountain Man Brewing Company (MMBC) was found in 1925 as a family run business and “Mountain Man Lager” is its core product. MMBC was rated as “Best Beer in West Virginia” for years and was selected as “America’s Championship Lager” at the American Beer Championship. MMBC relied on his history and status as independent, family-owned brewery to create an aura of authenticity and to position the beer with its core drinkers – blue-collar, middle-to-lower income men over age 45. Because of the product quality, positioning and brand equity, MMBC had gained a strong brand loyalty, which has made MMBC so successful. The unique quality of Mountain Man, the distinctively bitter flavor and slightly higher-than-average alcohol content, contributed to the company’s brand equity which made MMBC distinguish from the competitors. But because of the competition from wine and spirits-based drinks, an increase in the federal excise tax, initiatives encouraging moderation and personal responsibility, and increasing health concerns, MMBC’s business declined 2% in revenues in latest years.…
