Upslope Adding Arizona Distribution With Golden Eagle

After meeting at the Great American Beer Festival, Golden Eagle built a relationship with Upslope, visiting their Boulder breweries and hosting them in Arizona. Management from both companies quickly realized this could be a great partnership.

“Upslope is a great addition to our statewide portfolio. We are thrilled to bring Upslope to Arizonans so they can fall in love with their beers, just as we have,” said Kimberly Clements, President, Golden Eagle Distributors, Inc. “The team at Upslope is awesome. They brew award winning beer and are a great match for how we go to market. We can’t wait to start selling Upslope!”

Upslope selected Golden Eagle for its expansion into Arizona after doing their due diligence looking at the state’s beer wholesalers. Golden Eagle has a selective craft beer portfolio, working with breweries that share their passion for developing great brands. With seven warehouses throughout the state and an educated craft sales force, including its own pilot brewing system, Golden Eagle has the right tools to build Upslope in Arizona.

“We could not be more excited about taking Upslope to Arizona and working with the great folks at Golden Eagle Distributors, Inc.,” said Upslope Director of Sales and Marketing, Henry Wood. “Like many places, the craft beer scene is rapidly growing in Arizona, and we’re looking forward to exploring its wild country with our cans in tow.”

Arizonans will get to enjoy Upslope’s year-round offerings including Pale Ale, India Pale Ale, Brown Ale, Craft Lager and Imperial Pale Ale as well as their limited release selections. These selections will be available in draught and cans. Upslope will be available in Arizona in early 2014. Stay tuned for Arizona Upslope updates at www.twitter.com/goldeneagledist.
