Stout21 Returning To North Carolina

The North Carolina ABC Commission’s decision in March to reject Stout21’s 3 oz. packaging was difficult to hear, but Stout21 took it as an opportunity to develop new packaging that the Commission would approve for sale in the state’s market.

Stout21 plans to return to North Carolina as soon as possible, as well as continue to build upon their recent success in other markets.

Cody Sommer, CEO of Stout21, is excited to re-enter the North Carolina market. “When we first launched Stout21, we were excited by the initial sales and positive feedback we had received. We took the Commission’s remarks into careful consideration, and we have developed a new package that will appeal to our targeted consumers.”

Stout Brewing Company has been expanding over the past few months in other states, and is ready to make progress in its home state. With the re-launch of Stout21 in North Carolina, Stout Brewing Company, LLC expects to see more growth for its company, including the opportunity to create more jobs for the community.
Additionally, Stout Brewing Company has continued to stress their position on responsible drinking. “Our position has always been clear, we do not condone the consumption of our product by individuals under the age of 21,” said Sommer. It’s stated on our bottle and it is a message that we stand behind 100%.”
