NORMAL – Destihl Brewery announced Tuesday it’s expanding beer distribution to Alaska and Maryland.
In May of 2017, Destihl opened its 47,000 square foot production facility in Normal.
“Our new brewery has allowed us to grow and meet demand in new and exciting markets like Alaska and Maryland,” said Co-Founder, CEO and Brewmaster Matt Potts in a statement.
“This is an awesome opportunity for the distribution of Destihl beers to continue growing in the Mid-Atlantic region as well as in new frontiers, like Alaska,” Potts added.
The brewery has teamed up with Bill’s Distributing in Alaska and DOPS, Inc. in Maryland, which already distributes Destihl beers in Delaware and Washington D.C.
“We are super excited to have Destihl beers available to consumers coast to coast,” said Destihl Director of Sales Neil Reinhardt. “Our approach to new markets has been to choose the best partner, and we couldn’t ask for better ones than Bill’s and DOPS. We look forward to working and growing with their teams.”
In February, the beer makers announced it’s building a new location at the Carle at The Fields development in southwest Champaign in the summer of 2020, moving from its downtown Champaign building, which opened in 2011.
Destihl was founded in Normal in 2007.
