FORT COLLINS, CO – July 15, 2013 - New Belgium Brewing has signed an agreement with N.K.S. Distributors, which is part of the ABI network, to serve as the brewery’s distribution partner in Delaware.

Draft and 12-oz. package will follow in mid October.

"This will mark our 33rd state of distribution, once Florida opens up later this month, and it’s exciting for us to be inching our way into more and more areas in the Northeast," said New Belgium Brewing Sales Co-Pilot, Brian Krueger.
