Kid Rock’s beer company, American Badass Beer, will no longer be made by Webberville-based Michigan Brewing Co., the singer’s camp announced today.
The bank foreclosed on the brewing company’s headquarters this spring and distributors are already getting antsy.
The Michigan Brewing Co. had been awarded more than $720,000 in state tax credits, but according to the Michigan Economic Development Corporation, never collected on it. Company owner Bobby Mason could not be reached for comment. American Badass hasn’t said who will replace the beleaguered Ingham County brewer. “We are hoping to start production of Badass again before the end of the year, and are exceptionally grateful for the support of our distributors, retailers and consumers during this transition,” the company said in a written statement. Dan Bryant, marketing director for Powers Distributing, said his company, which carries Kid Rock’s and other beers by the Michigan Brewing Co., said he has about a two-week supply of American Badass. If he runs out?
“
Then, I start to get nervous,” Bryant said. “If I can’t get his Michigan brand, I have to replace his brand with other Michigan brands.” Full details here.
