About Lime Ventures Imports:
In a global culture increasingly dominated by megacorporations whose consuming interests are their bottom lines, those who craft quality goods operate at a distinct disadvantage. We at Lime Ventures seek to redress this inequity to the best of our ability by making beverages of genuinely high quality more readily available. We are committed to providing these beverages with service of an equally high quality, though the limited nature of these beers and our desire to keep prices as low as possible precludes us from engaging in the economies of gross scale that allow some distributors to offer inducements, legal or otherwise, to make their product more appealing to retailers. We will not compete on any level other than the superiority of the beverages, which we handle with the respect necessary to ensure their quality, and the honest customer service we provide. This is what your customers expect from you, and what you should expect of us.
