I've had (and have) a lot of balls in the air, plus some intermittent phone issues, so I'm a little late posting this. http://www.spokane7.com/blog/2016/nov/18/birth-partnership/ Makes sense for W.WA distribution in ways the No-Li/Orlison one never did.
Curious if things got acrimonious with Orlison and their partnership ended prematurely for that. There seems to be less Orlison product in stores and bottle shops vs before. I'd like to toss a can or two of Pilsener 37 into a couple boxes, but there no longer seem to be any.
Plus, I was a bit surprised that NoLi makes that much beer. 12,000 bbls/year? that's way more than I thought
Since John Bryant's been onboard and subsequently been alone in the driver's seat, they've greatly upped their marketing game which has in turn brought in bigger sales and more production. They've wanted that bigger production space for a long time now but don't seem willing to commit to building a purpose-built facility, so I guess we'll continue to see them make deals for contract brewing for wider distribution for the time being.
