Rhinegeist Brewery Expands Distribution To Massachusetts

(Cincinnati, OH). — Cincinnati-based Rhinegeist Brewery announces its beer expansion into Boston and across the state of Massachusetts. Along with canned core beers of Truth (IPA) and Cougar (Blonde Ale), there will be a slew of canned seasonals rotating throughout the year along with a continuous stream of draft-only limited release brews. Rhinegeist will continue its partnership with Massachusetts Beverage Alliance, who already distributes their craft cider brand, Cidergeist, in Massachusetts.

Bay State residents can find Rhinegeist beers on draft and in 12oz six packs in bars, restaurants, liquor and grocery stores full-time beginning September, 26 2016. For a first tasting of Rhinegeist’s suds, check out the launch week events at the bottom.

Rhinegeist East Coast Sales Director, Nick Vitalo, says about the expansion, “The Massachusetts Beverage Alliance, and their network of distributors, has done a great job in getting our craft cider out to the thirsty consumers across the state. We are excited to partner again with MBA to bring our wide variety of craft beers to one of the most innovative and competitive markets in the world of craft beer. Massachusetts has certainly enjoyed our cider and we hope to continue the momentum with our beer!”

Brian Murphy, Massachusetts Beverage Alliance Director of Sales and Markets added, “Having sold the cider for the last 7 months, and considering how well it has been received, we are extremely excited about this natural next step. The passion and creativity Rhinegeist brings with their beer is astounding and we are thrilled to share them with the Massachusetts market.”
