Bells distributing to Texas

Hell yeah! Exciting news. My need to post this in the Southwest forum as well. Cheers!

 

We are thrilled to announce that Bell’s beer will head to The Lone Star State in early 2017.

“We’re looking forward to making all kinds of new friends and reconnecting with our Michigan and Midwest transplants,” Bell’s Vice President Laura Bell said.

Our entire portfolio, including year-round and seasonal beers, will head to Texas.

“This process will follow the same timeline we have followed for other new state launches,” Bell said.

“We will start with making sure we have Bell’s representatives in key areas, then we will begin searching for the right distributor partner who will help us maintain the quality and customer service that are central to who we are,” she said.

Texas will be the eighth state we add to our distribution footprint following Mississippi, Arkansas, Kansas, Louisiana, South Dakota, Nebraska and West Virginia in 2016.

Additional details will be announced at here and on social media as they become available.

 

Hooray! I've missed Two Hearted so much since I moved here.

edit: not to mention Hopslam!

 

Probably will sign with Andrews and only be in DFW

 

Texas summers will never be the same... Two Hearted Ale and Oberon Ale...

 

For me, this is the best beer news I've heard since moving to Texas. I'm sure most people here have heard of Expedition Stout, Hopslam, 30th Anniversary, Black Note etc... but their entire lineup is excellent and I expect will be thoroughly embraced.

It's just too bad we'll have to wait an entire year!

 

Depending on where you live the wait could be longer.

 

No way. I've got a car and gas is cheap down here!

 

Nice

 

Don't shatter my dreams!

I can finally have room in my suitcase for other MI beers besides two hearted

 

im guessing closer to 2018

 

@aschwab , in bad need of an unlike button here, don't curse us in the south

 

Tremendous news! I cannot wait to get Two Hearted and Oberon in Texas.

 

I'll take some.

 

HopSlam and Black Note FTW

 

Great news! Been waiting for this for years! Looking forward to having Two-Hearted, Hopslam and Expedition as often as possible. Black Note would be appreciated as well.

 

Hopefully easier to find then it is in MI though.

Although KBS is easier to find here as opposed to in MI, so there is hope.

 

Are people really excited about another $20 6pk of an IPA?

 

Yes. And even more excited about Expedition and Two Hearted.

Also; have you had or heard of anything other than Hopslam?
