From Ithaca:
Starting in late July, independently owned and operated Ithaca Beer Co. will round out product availability in the entire state of Pennsylvania by adding Ace Distributing to its roster. Ace will bring Ithaca beers to bars, restaurants and stores in Adams, Lancaster and York County in PA.
Ithaca Beer will launch into these counties with Flower Power India Pale Ale and Apricot Wheat in bottle and draft, Green Trail Easy-Drinking India Pale Ale and seasonal beers will make their way into Ace’s territory in the coming months.
“We are excited to partner with Ace Distributing, as well as expanding our distribution footprint further into Pennsylvania. We put a lot of love into our beers, so we hope you enjoy them as much as we do,” Chirsan Lichtenstein, Sales Manager at Ithaca Beer Co.
Nate Fochtman, Vice President Craft & Specialty at Ace Distributing, noted, “Ithaca Beer Co. is an established brewery, founded over fifteen years ago, and we are pleased to welcome the Ithaca portfolio to the Ace family. The demand in the market for Ithaca products was an impressive and driving factor to our decision to pursue and partner with this great portfolio of beers.”
