US-based SanTan Brewing has selected Ben E. Keith Beverages as its new distributor, in a move to expand its product presence to Texas.
Under the partnership, Ben E. Keith will distribute SanTan Brewing's southwestern style ales including Devil's Ale, HopShock IPA, SunSpot Gold, Mr. Pineapple Wheat Beer and a SanTan variety pack in the state, beginning June.
Ben E. Keith Beverages president Kevin Bartholomew said, "What we are most excited about is that SanTan's entire 'Southwestern Style Ales" portfolio will resonate well with our ever expanding consumer base."
SanTan Brewing founder and brewmaster Anthony Canecchia said, "Ben E. Keith Beverages has undisputedly dedicated their houses to the development of the American craft revolution, which is part of our mission at SanTan Brewing."
SanTan Brewing, said to be the second largest craft brewery in Arizona, is expected to produce 25,000 barrels of its signature ales and lagers in 2014.
