NEW YORK, Dec. 06, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Montauk Brewing Company (“Montauk Brewing” or “Montauk”), the #1 and fastest-selling craft brewer in Metro New York according to Nielson1 data, known for its exceptional beers and a subsidiary of Tilray Brands, Inc. (NASDAQ: TLRY and TSX: TLRY), announced today expansion of its distribution into Florida. Montauk will bring two of its most popular styles, Wave Chaser India Pale Ale and Surf Beer Golden Ale, to the Sunshine State’s burgeoning beer market.
Starting with a launch in the Tampa-St. Petersburg Metropolitan Area, through partnerships with Great Bay Distributors, Pepin Distributing, and Gold Coast Eagle Distributing, Montauk Brewing is set to quench the thirst of Florida's beer market. The rollout is a major milestone in Montauk's growth plan, which has seen its presence expand significantly in New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Pennsylvania, and Georgia.
“We are incredibly excited to bring Montauk Brewing to Florida’s vibrant beer scene. The Sunshine State is a great opportunity for Montauk, with new drinkers that we’re eager to introduce to our coastal-inspired brews and a strong contingent of New Yorkers who are already fans,” said Terry Hopper, VP Sales of U.S. Beer at Tilray.
A light, easy-drinking brew, Surf Beer Golden Ale (4.5% alcohol by volume (ABV)) is an ode to keeping it simple and enjoying the No-Frills Good Life all year long. Wave Chaser IPA (6.4% ABV) is Montauk’s signature, approachable IPA packed with El Dorado, Azacca, Columbus and Chinook hops for incredible tropical and pine aromas and waves of endless flavors. Both will be available on draft and in six-packs of 12-ounce cans.
Stay tuned as Montauk Brewing continues to make waves and spread its passion for high-quality, craft beer across the nation.
