Dog Tag Brewing Expands East Coast Footprint to New Jersey

Lawrenceville, NJ  January 28, 2015—

Dog Tag Brewing is pleased to announce that it will expand its East Coast footprint to include central New Jersey and the Ft. Dix area. Dog Tag beer will be available in Burlington, Mercer, Monmouth and Ocean counties through an exclusive partnership with Hub City Distributing based in Lawrenceville. “Everyone at Hub City is excited to introduce the Dog Tag brand to the New Jersey market. It’s exciting to be able to sell a great beer with an even better cause and remember those who gave everything for us,” says Dan Check, the Craft Team Manager for Hub City.

Dog Tag Brewing will launch in New Jersey with their India Pale Ale and Lager varieties and will introduce new brew styles soon. New Jersey is the seventh state Dog Tag Brewing has added to their sales territory since they began distributing in May of 2014. The beer is also available in Pennsylvania, Montana, North Carolina, South Dakota, Virginia and Wyoming. For fans living outside of these areas, the beer can be purchased by the case online.

Many fans in New Jersey have awaited the arrival of Dog Tag beer to their home state including the Iannelli family of Clarksboro. Captain Ryan K. Iannelli, an AH-1W Super Cobra pilot assigned to Marine Light Attack Helicopter Squadron 269 in the United States Marine Corps, is honored on Dog Tag’s cans. Captain Iannelli made the ultimate sacrifice when his helicopter crashed in Helmand Province, Afghanistan in 2011. A portion of Dog Tag sales is donated to a ministry in Ryan’s name, founded by his mother, Donna Iannelli. "It’s a great way to reach a lot of people and share what Ryan was all about," Donna Iannelli said.

Combat-veteran owned Dog Tag Brewing works directly with families of fallen U.S. service members and honors a different warrior on the back of each of their cans. A portion of the brewing company’s sales is donated to charitable organizations that the families have selected to further commemorate their fallen loved ones.
