Forward integration is when a business integrates with a firm it sells to.
Vertical integration eliminates ALL middlemen. The classic example of vertical integration is for one organization to sow, grow and harvest the barley, ferment the mash, age the wort, then sell a customer the finished beer. No middlemen!!!
