From Mike Hess Brewing:
San Diego, CA, April 4, 2014--
Today, Mike Hess Brewing (MHB) has announced that they will bring their brand to the San Diego marketplace, partnering with Crest Beverage L.L.C. for distribution, sales and logistics. “Crest has years of experience in the San Diego craft beer market, and that’s a definite advantage for us,” says owner Mike Hess. “We have a wide spectrum of great beer styles—from lighter Kölsch and Orange Honey Wheat to Session and West Coast IPAs. With Crest’s large footprint and highly trained sales team, our beers will not only be available in the biggest and best accounts in San Diego, but in a much wider selection of accounts where customers would like to enjoy local craft.” Steve Sourapas Jr., President, Crest Beverage agrees, saying, “Mike Hess Brewing is a major contributor to the vibrant San Diego craft beer scene. It’s an honor to team up with the brewery to distribute their brands across San Diego.”
Mike Hess Brewing has been on the scene for four years, beginning as San Diego’s first production nano-brewery. It has only been nine months since they opened their state-of-the-art 30 bbl production brewery in the heart of the vibrant North Park community, but they are growing rapidly. Dean McMillian, Crest Beverage General Manager, said, “We’ve admired the brewery, the brewer and the beer for years. Our team is thrilled to have Mike Hess Brewing’s distinctive beers join our portfolio.” Crest will carry MHB’s full line including both draft releases and their newly released flagship line of canned beers.
Summing up the new partnership, Mike Hess has said that “San Diego is such a great place, with such a diverse beer drinking population. We’ll be happy only when there’s a chicken in every pot and a Hess beer in every hand! We are excited about the opportunity for rapid growth in the coming year with Crest as well the other markets we can bring our brand to with RBG.”
