Lagunitas Veterans Join Cornbread Hemp Advisory Board

*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
