From Heavy Seas:
BALTIMORE, MD --- Heavy Seas Beer is pleased to introduce Claus Hagelman
as National Accounts Manager. Claus will be responsible for developing
relationships with chain accounts, an area of growing importance in today’s craft
beer industry.
With over 20 years of experience in the industry, Claus is a recognized
sales and marketing professional. Beginning in the fine wine business in 1987,
he transitioned to the beer industry in 1997 with Paulaner North America. In
2002, he left the brewery and joined Glazer’s Wholesale, one of the largest beer,
wine, and liquor distributors in the country. At Glazer’s, Claus was in charge of
developing the craft and import beer market in five states.
At the end of 2004, he left the distributor to become the National Sales
Manager at Dogfish Head Craft Brewery in Delaware. He was with Dogfish Head
for almost 7 years, helping to develop their sales and marketing programs.
A big transition occurred in 2011 when Claus joined 16 Mile Brewery, also
in Delaware, as the Sales and Marketing Director. In addition to focusing on
sales growth, he also developed a beer infused food program ranging from
coffee to scrapple.
Heavy Seas is happy to welcome Claus aboard. He can be reached at
