Fireman’s Brew expands into Ohio, Kansas

Fireman’s Brew, a Los Angeles-based craft beer company founded by firefighters, is now available in Kansas and Ohio marking the 13 and 14 states, respectively, that this rapidly growing craft beer brand has expanded into since 2012.

Fireman’s Brew is setting the industry ablaze! … and then putting it out because it is literally run by firemen.

“We are thrilled to team up with Standard Beverage for our debut in the great state of Kansas,” said Rob Nowaczyk, founder of Fireman’s Brew. “With the addition of Kansas, we’re continuing towards our goal of developing Fireman’s Brew into a national brand.”

“We at Standard Beverage are looking forward to launching Fireman’s Brew into Kansas,” commented Tyler Fayard, director of premium beer division at Standard Beverage. “With their three award-winning beers, inspirational brand story and firefighter community tie-in, Fireman’s Brew is a great fit for our growing craft beer portfolio.”

For Ohio, partnerships with three of Ohio’s leading distributors including: Beverage Distributors Inc.; Tramonte Distributing; and Classic Brands to distribute its award-winning beers throughout the state.

“We’re excited to be launching our beers throughout Ohio in a coordinated fashion with three of the state’s largest distributors,” said Rob Nowaczyk, founder of Fireman’s Brew. “Fireman’s Brew continues to receive a great response from consumers across the Midwest, and with the expansion into Ohio we are now one step closer towards achieving our goal of building Fireman’s Brew into a national brand.”

Roger Baer, CEO of Fireman’s Brew added, “We are thrilled to partner with three of Ohio’s leading beverage distributors, and look forward to working closely with the teams at Beverage Distributors, Tramonte Distributing and Classic Brands to help build Fireman’s Brew brand presence throughout the market.”

Conceived by two Los Angeles-based firefighters after extinguishing a brush fire in the local mountains, Fireman’s Brew grew out of their vision to create a premium line of handcrafted ales and lagers that would quench their thirsts after an exhausting day on the firelines. In addition, the company is committed to giving back to the firefighter community upon which it was founded by donating a portion of company proceeds to the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation — the nation’s leading non-profit organization dedicated to honoring fallen firefighters and providing assistance to their surviving families.
