Ska brewing, Durango Colorado’s gift to the craft beer world, is expanding its distribution to another state.
Beginning immediately, Ska Brewing’s flagship beers and some of its specialty beers will show up on store shelves and in taverns/restaurants in the Land of 10,000 Lakes, otherwise known as the state of Minnesota. Craft beer fans across the Gopher State will soon be able to drink Ska products like True Blonde, Mexican Logger, and Modus Hoperandi without leaving the confines of their home turf. Ska Marketing Director Kristen Muraro says the expansion to Minnesota is one that has been in the works for some time and is now a happy reality.
“Minnesota has always been an attractive market for us. Craft beer is exploding in the region so we are excited to tap into this opportunity,” says Muraro.
Taking charge of distribution duties is none other than Clear River Beverage. The company responsible for bringing excellent beers from such breweries as AleSmith, Clown Shoes, Bear Republic, Prairie Artisan Ales, SixPoint, and others to Minnesota, Clear River Beverage is a business with extensive craft beer experience. Bill Huth, President of Clear River Beverage, is excited to add Ska to his company’s portfolio.
“Ska has been making world class beer in Durango Colorado since 1995 and we are thrilled that their fabulous beers are now going to be available here in Minnesota. We are honored that after studying the Twin Cities market that they chose Clear River Beverage as their distribution partner,” says Huth. “Like Ska Brewing, Clear River’s business priority and mission is based on quality, and it was obvious to me when I first tasted the beers from Ska Brewing and met the crew that I instantly recognized that Ska was something very special in the craft beer industry. I know that all of us at Clear River are very excited to begin telling their story and sharing their delicious beers with the craft beer community in the Twin Cities.”
With Minnesota added to the ranks, Ska Brewing is now distributed in twelve U.S. states: Arizona, California, Colorado, Hawaii, Illinois, Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, New Mexico, Texas, Utah, and of course, Minnesota. If you happen to live in Minnesota, expect to see Ska Brewing beer show up on store shelves over the course of the next few weeks.
