Bell's working towards distribution in Tennessee

Hoping this will make it to Jackson. Thanks to Memphis distributors, we seem to have lost our ability to get Founders beers anymore in Jackson. It's a bummer too. Hopefully that won't be the case here...

 

Great news!

 

Been in the works for awhile. Once Founders hit you knew Bells wouldn't be far behind.

 

Excited about it, too - it often seems TN is a black hole of distribution for many breweries. I looked at a few on seekabrew.com and was amazed how often distribution surrounded but didn't enter TN.

 

Finally!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

I sent this link to some managers for Central Distributors. Maybe they will take note when store owners ask for it.

 

Can't wait for Bells! Supposedly Not Your Fathers Root Beer drops soon too. What happened @Tilley4? The distributors fucking suck in Memphis.

 

Not sure? It has disappeared from shelves here all together. I haven't seen it and a couple of months. Even the regular shelf beers have disappeared from those guys. I am hoping that the situation will be rectified soon. It was a go to choice for me.

 

I'm not sure they are the ones distributing this. I could be wrong though.

 

Awesome news! Memphis has had Founders for a while and just started getting New Holland. I was hoping Bell's and other Michigan brews would start making their way down. Can't wait!

 

I don't know that they have a distributor yet, though they work with Budweiser of Memphis I believe. DET in Jackson gets what little comes their way from DET in Nashville.

 

Hope to see some Bells soon. And look forward to my first Bell's IPA.

 

Tallgrass launches today. Some ethos and 8 bit tall cans sound good too me!

 

Looking forward to being able to get Two Hearted regularly. Hopefully they get this done before the next HopSlam release.

 

Was pretty surprised Bounty got it. Not because I don't think they deserved it, but assumed Bell's would choose someone else that wasn't distributing Founders.

 

I wonder if that's going to be the only one in the state? If it's the same folks who distribute Founders, that leaves us out of the picture... It is non existent in Jackson now... Memphis is the closest place and it sits and sits there... Meanwhile, it flew off the shelves here...

 

Bud distributes Founders in Middle Tennesse. It sucks because they don't have their high grav license. We get All day and Centenial and thats about it. Have to go to Nashville or Knoxville for the good stuff. I hope they don't get Bells.

 

Just an FYI, Bells and Founders are distributed by the same company in Kentucky.
