Evans Brewing debuts new packaging in new market — Colorado

Southern California craft beer producer Evans Brewing Co., publicly traded under the stock symbol “ALES,” has finalized an agreement for its core year-round branded packaged beers to be distributed in Colorado. The distribution agreement with New Age Beverage, LLC will bring the company’s year-round offerings – Pollen Nation Honey Blonde Ale, The KrHOPen India Pale Ale, Oaklore Brown Ale, and ChocōLatté Chocolate Porter – to retailers across the state.

Distribution to Colorado brings the number of states where the company’s ales and lagers are available to seven – joining California, Oregon, Washington, Nevada, Arizona, and New Mexico. The agreement with New Age Beverage is the first out-of-state distribution of Evans Brewing’s branded packaged core year-round products and is expected to be followed by agreements in additional states and regions.
