Phoenix Area Distribution

[Telegraph]

We are starting to explore sales opportunities in the Phoenix market. Any recommendations on distributors in Arizona? Any distributors out there looking to add brands? Opinions, good or bad, on distributors in Phoenix would be welcome.

Thanks,

Brian,

Have you gotten anything set up for the Phoenix area yet? I'd recommend Little Guy Distributing there which is part of our World Class Beverages network. They have a very solid craft portfolio and have personnel focusing only on the craft and specialty brands. They also have state-wide reach, though they are based in the Phoenix area. Little Guy is part of Crescent Crown, the Miller/Coors distributor for Phoenix.

You can contact Harold Sleeman at hsleeman@ccdaz.com.

Our Arizona distribution is done through Little Guy Distributing/Crescent Crown as well. I would suggest looking into them. Their order quantities aren't great, but I'm not familiar with the health of the craft beer market in the state.
