US-based Lakewood Brewing Company has selected Andrews Distributing as its new distributor, in a move to expand its presence.
Under the partnership, Andrews Distributing will distribute Lakewood's complete portfolio of products starting in May.
Andrews Distributing president Mike McGuire said that craft beers are a huge part of the explosive growth in the beer industry, and it is a business driver for the company.
"Our unique approach helps breweries such as Lakewood grow by providing immediate marketing expertise and distribution to retailers and restaurants so they can spend their time perfecting brews," added McGuire.
Andrews has also started retail account service for Lakewood products this month.
Brewers Association reported that the sales of craft beer in the US recorded $14bn in 2013, an increase of 20% from the previous year.
