Mims Distributing Adds Bear Republic Tartare Berliner Weisse to Portfolio

imageFrom Mims & Bear Republic:

Raleigh, NC, August 08, 2015  Mims Distributing Company, a wholesale beverage distributor in North Carolina, has announced the limited availability of partner brewer Bear Republic’s Tartare Berliner Weisse. A barrel-aged sour beer from the famed California brewery, Tartare Berliner Weisse offers an interpretation of one of the world’s classic sour beer styles that’s characteristically tart and low in alcohol. Paste Magazine has ranked the beer as the No. 1 American Berliner Weisse.

Craft beer lovers can expect Tartare to appear on draft taps at select bars and restaurants across North Carolina this summer, and it pairs well with steamed mussels and other shellfish.

Bear Republic, one of the nation’s top craft breweries, is a sought-after brand. The California drought has forced the company to decrease production and pull out of some markets, such as Massachusetts and Texas. Its brews are currently available in just 10 states, including North Carolina, where Mims Distributing is its exclusive partner.


“We are very fortunate to be able to work with Bear Republic, a brewery with a strong foundation of excellent flavor and craft tradition,” said Chip Mims, CEO of Mims Distributing Company. “The Berliner Weisse beer is hard to master, but Bear Republic really encompassed the unique flavor with the Tartare. We are excited to provide select North Carolina locations with a rare brew that many people have been eager to try.”

“The Tartare is one of the world’s classic sour beer styles and has been dubbed as the ‘Champagne of the North.’ We thought that it would be a great unique addition to North Carolina’s craft beer scene,” said Jonathan Williman. “With access to the entire state and some of craft beer’s biggest fans, Mims was a natural choice to get the word out about this rare, tasty brew.”
