Bell's To Distribute in Texas in 2017

Bell's Brewery, the nation's seventh-largest craft brewery in 2015 according to the Brewers Association, has announced that it will distribute its beers to the Lone Star state in 2017.

This news comes on the heels of distribution plan announcements for Nebraska, South Dakota and Kansas earlier this year.

A distributor for the year-round and seasonal Bell's beers has not yet been chosen.

Here is the release from Bell's:

COMSTOCK, MICHIGAN – Bell’s Brewery is thrilled to announce that it will begin distributing beer to Texas in early 2017.

“We’re looking forward to making all kinds of new friends and reconnecting with our Michigan and Midwest transplants,” Bell’s Vice President Laura Bell said.

Bell’s entire portfolio, including its year-round and seasonal beers, will head to Texas.

“This process will follow the same timeline we have followed for other new state launches,” Bell said.

“We will start with making sure we have Bell’s representatives in key areas, then we will begin searching for the right distributor partner who will help us maintain the quality and customer service that are central to who we are,” she said.

Texas will be the eighth state Bell’s Brewery adds to its distribution footprint following Mississippi, Arkansas, Kansas, Louisiana, South Dakota, Nebraska and West Virginia.

Additional details will be announced at bellsbeer.com as they become available. Fans are also encouraged to follow Bell’s social media for the latest updates as well.

Applications are being accepted for the first Bell’s sales position based in Texas – a Regional Business Manager. Details can be found here.
