Midwest Supplies

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This company lacks the significant coverage in reliable sources to establish notability. The article shows two references but it is actually the same reference used twice. There is a claim that this is the largest home brewing company in America, but the reference provided actually states "Midwest is among the largest U.S. suppliers", and not the largest as claimed. The article is behind a paywall but for some reason, it lets you have a short look before throwing up the pay wall. A search for more sources finds a few reviews of their home brewing kit (This Wired review is the most substantial), but nothing about the company. Whpq (talk) 15:26, 29 January 2019 (UTC)

 * Delete Fails WP:CORP and WP:GNG. I found a (very) passing mention here:, but the focus is on a sister company, Northern Brewer, which the article terned "the nation's largest home-brewing supplier" (not Midwest, in other words). Other passing mentions: Seattle Times; BizJounral (MN); and, Star Tribune still don't amount to WP:SIGCOV in terms of the company itself as the focus is on the acquisition of sister companies, including Midwest, by ABInBev in 2016, rather than in-depth coverage of the company itself.
