Lafayette, NY. (February 1, 2017) – 1911 Established, the award-winning Central New York based cider & spirits company, announced a partnership with United States Beverage to manage sales and distributor relationships for their small batch craft cider brand in the USA. This partnership will support the brand’s plans for growth on the East Coast.
“Having a partner like United States Beverage will allow us to continue to focus on creating our small batch unique ciders while also working to become THE regional brand for the North East and East Coast of the US said Eddie Brennan, co-owner of 1911 Established. “Not only do they have a world class sales and marketing team but, like us, they are an independently owned and operated business and really understand what makes us tick.”
Currently 1911 Established Hard Cider is distributed in New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania. 1911 Hard Cider is available in over 6 flavors in both kegs and 12 oz/6 pack formats.
“US Beverage is honored to partner with the 1911 Established Cider and Spirits team. It was clear from the beginning of our discussions that our two companies have complementary visions. The strategic thinking and marketing expertise of the 1911 Team is impressive and has established themselves in a leadership position to this point,” said Justin Fisch, VP/ General Manager of United States Beverage. “As we (USB) expand our strategic platform across both the domestic and import premium beverage category, the addition of 1911 enables us to broaden our domestic portfolio and expand our presence with American craft brands.”
1911 will continue to cover their Upstate NY business directly, while United States Beverage handles all sales outside of Upstate New York.
“We are thrilled to partner with a company that shares similar goals,” said Eddie Brennan, Co-owner, of 1911 Established. “Our partnership with United States Beverage will allow us to achieve new heights.”
