Alaskan Brewing Co., located in Juneau, Alaska, will begin distributing its products throughout Missouri, including in St. Louis, in mid-May.
“Our move into Missouri is a natural fit for our brand,” Merv Boyce, sales and marketing director for Alaskan, said in a statement. “We have a rock-solid group of enthusiastic distributors there, along with quite a few Alaskan beer fans throughout the state. Our story and the thrill of a ‘taste of Alaska’ that comes in every Alaskan beer really resonates with the people of Missouri, who have a long and storied history with beer and brewing. We know that they recognize quality brews when they taste them.”
The brewery is partnering with distributors Grey Eagle, Krey, Lohr and H.W. Herrell to distribute throughout St. Louis and surrounding areas, officials said. Grey Eagle, which distributes brands like Budweiser and Bud Light, had revenue of $161 million in 2017.
