Karl Strauss Joins “The Attenuators Network” To Keep Up With Consumer Demand
San Diego, CA – Karl Strauss Brewing Company is partnering with the coalition of independent distributors dubbed “The Attenuators Network” to manage a growing portion of its on and off-premise distribution throughout Southern California. Due to increased consumer demand, Karl Strauss is experiencing tremendous growth and its beer sales in California are up 32% over last year—far outpacing the craft industry average. Karl Strauss chose The Attenuators because of their commitment to craft beer, extensive network throughout Southern California, and dedication to making the Karl Strauss brand available to more fans.
“It is so important to us that our distributor partners understand and embrace local craft beer. The Attenuators network has demonstrated a passion for our business; we know they will work hard to gain new placements and increase the availability of our award-winning beers,” says Marc Martin, VP of Beer, Karl Strauss Brewing Company. By partnering with The Attenuators, Karl Strauss will gain access to more than 25,000 on- and off-premises accounts in Los Angeles County, Orange County (off-premise only), Riverside County and San Bernardino County. Karl Strauss will continue to self-distribute on-premise accounts in San Diego and Orange County.
Karl Strauss is slated to brew 60,000 barrels and remains one of Southern California’s fastest-growing breweries. “The Attenuators will help us further penetrate our local market and achieve our goal of providing the freshest and highest quality beer to fans across Southern California,” says Martin. With a commitment to beer education—there are several Certified Cicerones® on staff—and unparalleled customer service, the Attenuators will make Karl Strauss more readily available and expose new fans to the brand.
