Crooked Stave Expands Distribution To CT & GA

Crooked Stave Artisan Beer Project is expanding distribution  to Georgia and Connecticut, thanks to its distribution relationship with 12 Percent Imports.  With adding these two new markets, Crooked Stave is now distributed throughout 5 different states through 12 Percent Imports.

“We have a great relationship with Brian Ewing at 12 Percent Imports and we have a great admiration of what he has done within the craft beer world,” says Crooked Stave Owner/Head Brewer Chad Yakobson. “Thanks to Brian and his distribution network we are able to expand into new markets and bring our passion-driven beers to new drinkers.”

Savannah Distributing will be handling distribution of Crooked Stave Artisan Beer Project in Georgia, while Northeast Distribution will manage statewide distribution in Connecticut with five initial offerings hitting these new markets: Vieille Artisanal Saison, Surette Provision Saison, St. Bretta Citrus Wildbier, Origins Burgundy Sour, and Nightmare on Brett, a dark sour aged in Leopold Brothers whiskey barrels.

Growing out-of-state distribution is one of Crooked Stave Artisan Beer Project’s short-term goals as it expands production and moves brewing operations in-house. The brewery recently relocated its brewing equipment, including the coolship and 25-hectoliter brewhouse, from its taproom location at 3350 Brighton Blvd. in the River North (RiNo) neighborhood to its former Barrel Cellar location off of 46th and Pecos St. in Denver’s Sunnyside neighborhood. The location, now formerly known as the Barrel Cellar, is undergoing an expansion in order to house all brewing, barrel-aging and packaging under one roof, which will be a first for Crooked Stave.
