Brooklyn Brewery adds Colorado to distribution footprint

October 17, 2018Chris Crowell

Brooklyn Brewery

Brooklyn Brewery is seemingly available all over the world now, exporting to Asia and Europe and leveraging its Carlsberg relationship to open up new craft beer sites in Norway, Sweden and Lithuania. But one place the eleventh largest independent craft brewer had yet to send its beer? Colorado. That is until Nov. 1, when Colorado will officially be added to Brooklyn Brewery’s distribution footprint.

Brooklyn is partnering with Elite Brands to distribute on the Front Range, and High Country Beverage in Northern Colorado and the Western Slope. Brooklyn shares a sales and distribution platform with Funkwerks and 21st Amendment, which will open distribution in Colorado before the end of the year.

Brooklyn’s flagship Brooklyn Lager, Bel Air Sour, Defender IPA, seasonal releases, the Brooklyn Mix can variety 12 pack, and various draft-only Brooklyn Limited creations from brewmaster Garrett Oliver will be the first brands headed to taps and shelves across the state this fall.

“We’re excited to bring Brooklyn to the epicenter of the craft beer revolution,” says Brooklyn founder Steve Hindy. “I’ve spent many enjoyable times in Colorado, working with the Brewers Association and pouring beer at GABF. It will be a pleasure to drink Brooklyn Lager there.”
