When you reside in a less populated U.S. state, it often takes longer to get the goods and services you long for. The heavily populated states like California, Texas, New York, Florida, and others like them have the number of people necessary to make viable most any type of commerce. But when you live in a state where a city with 40,000 people is considered huge, you often have to accept the simple fact that many of the popular product brands may never show up on local shelves.
Settling for less is a part of life in these sparsely populated lands, but things are about to change for the better for at least one of them: Wyoming. And the change is something certain to delight the craft beer faithful because it involves Michigan- based Founders Brewing. Starting in April, Founders Brewing will start to distribute its beer to Wyoming for the first time, partnering with Teton Distributors. Founders All Day IPA, Solid Gold, Dirty Bastard, Centennial IPA, Breakfast Stout, and several seasonal and Barrel Aged releases will make their way to the Equality State for the first time, in bottles, cans and on draft, as applicable.
Founders Brewing Co- Founder and CEO Mike Stevens knows that Wyoming craft beer fans have been yearning for Founders, and he is happy to answer the call.
“Wyoming beer drinkers sure are vocal, and we’re pleased to be able to answer their requests,” said Stevens. “With the recent addition of Colorado to our distribution network, Wyoming was the logical next step. The pioneering spirit of the West is something we’ve long-admired and we’re thrilled to be a part of its history.”
Founders beer will begin shipment to Wyoming in March and will start showing up in stores, restaurants, and taverns in April. There are going to be several launch events held later in April and craft beer fans are encouraged to visit foundersbrewing.com/events to stay up-to-date with the latest launch information.
With Wyoming added to the fold, Founders Brewing beer is now sold in 48 out of the 50 U.S. states. Hawaii and Utah are the only states remaining where Founders beer cannot be found. It’s excellent news for the residents of one of our least populated states and it shows that great things can happen in small places, especially when that “thing” is craft beer and when consumers speak loudly and clearly about what they want.
