Riverwalk Brewing Expands Distribution Through Craft Brewers Guild
Riverwalk Brewing Co. will dramatically expand its distribution efforts by signing with Craft Brewers Guild of Everett, MA., whose portfolio includes many of the top imported and domestic craft breweries in the world.
“This was a critical decision for us,” says owner Steve Sanderson. “We have a company culture that is extremely independent and focused on quality, so finding a partner with the same values was important. Our decision to partner with Craft will allow us increase our distribution range, maintain quality, and focus on creating more great beers.”
Riverwalk beers had been available in Northeastern Massachusetts and the Greater Boston area through self-distribution in both 16.9 oz bottles and on draft. The partnership with Craft will increase potential distribution to cover most of Massachusetts.
“Craft has experience with breweries large and small, and works with some of the brands that we respect the most,” says Sanderson. “After many months of discussion, it just seemed like anatural fit.”
Riverwalk Brewing will continue to self-distribute in the North Shore region, servicing territory in the brewery’s immediate vicinity. The brewery has no plans to increase distribution beyond the state of Massachusetts at this time.
