My company will be releasing a communication app for Android in the coming weeks/months. It is an embedded app on a Nexus 7 2013 device, running AOSP with some minor modifications. This makes typical remote updates complicated as there's an extra step we must run to install the APK/libs into the OS system folders.
The plan is to do Alpha and Beta trials, and we have started gathering volunteers. We'll be loading the APK onto devices and giving them out initially. I've found plenty of information on generally preparing for release (unit testing, signing your APK, etc) but I'm looking for information on Alpha and Beta releases.

Yes. I've tried running a private Alpha and a public beta using the dev console and G+ groups. This is really useful if the testers are used to g+ and how it works as we gathered feedback there. Also this is the only way that I know of to seamlessly "push" the updates to the users. The only downside is that the dev console lacks an api so you can't upload builds automatically from a ci-server.
Tried Test Flight before it was bought by Apple but didn't use it for feedback, only distribution. In the most simple cases I've used Dropbox.
I would recommend the the following feedback "stack":
