21st Amendment expanding distribution to SoCal (opening up new brewery)

21st Amendment’s coolest new brand is called Down to Earth — a session IPA we tried at the Craft Brewers Conference — absolutely delish.

Coinciding with its new brewery opening up in San Leandro, Calif., this summer, 21st Amendment Brewery is planning on embracing its California roots with an increase in production capacity and an increase in California distribution.

Although vague rumors of 21st Amendment hitting Southern California have been swirling around for months, we’re excited to officially announce that cans of Hell or High Watermelon, Brew Free! Or Die and the new Down to Earth will be arriving on shelves across Los Angeles, Orange County, San Diego and the Inland Empire on May 11 (that’s today!) in partnership with Stone Distribution.

Co-founders Nico Freccia and Shaun O’Sullivan are thrilled to finally have their full roster of beers available in Southern California — thanks in large part to their new 95,000-square foot Bay Area brewery which will begin production and shipping in June, giving them the capacity to finally expand their reach to the sunnier part of the state. Southern California launch events will be held June 17 to 24, so stay tuned for more details.
