Slated for late January 2014, Brown Distributing will be the sole distributor of Uinta Brewing Company’s beers in the state of Florida.

Uinta is named after the only major east-west running mountain range located in the continental U.S. Since 1993, Uinta Brewing has created world class, full-flavored, craft-brewed beer ranging from 4.0% to over 13% alcohol by volume. The Uinta team comprised of outdoor and beer enthusiasts, brews a variety of beer organized in to three distinct lines; the Classic Line, Organic Line, and the Crooked Line.

Floridians have been patiently waiting and with recent brewery expansion, Uinta can finally supply this thirsty market. Uinta’s Marketing Director, Lindsay Berk explains “Uinta has had Florida on our radar for quite some time. With the installation of our new 130 bbl BrauKon brewhouse, scheduled to be complete in January 2014, Uinta is finally able to accommodate adding FL to our distribution.”

Uinta was the 2nd fastest growing Craft Brewery in 2013 with 67% growth in sales for 2012 landing them on the Top 50 US Craft Breweries list released by the Brewers Association. They have received awards and medals from regional, national, and international competitions, including the North American Beer Awards, World Beer Cup, and Great American Beer Festival.

Initial rollout will include the following brands: Hop Nosh IPA, Detour Double IPA, Dubhe Imperial Black IPA, Baba Black Lager, Wyld Extra Pale Ale, Cockeyed Cooper Bourbon Barrel Barley Wine, Labyrinth Wood-Aged Black Ale, Sea Legs Wood-Aged Baltic Porter, and Tinder Rauchbier.

Brown Distributing Company is thrilled to carry this lineup of products and partner with such an innovative brewery to bring these beers from Utah to the Sunshine State. It is Uinta’s forward thinking, quality focused and environmentally sustainable business practices (brewing with 100% Renewable Power; Wind and Solar) that make them such a valued company to partner with.

“All of us at Uinta Brewing are extremely excited about partnering up with Brown Distributing to handle our distribution in Florida. We have been fielding countless requests for our beers from the Sunshine state and are psyched that our increased capacity and new partnership will allow us to get our beers to a thirsty Florida.”- Steve Kuftinec, Uinta’s VP of Sales

This is surely an exciting partnership and we eagerly look forward to the launch of Uinta across Florida.
