Narrows Brewing Company Launches Wholesale and Retail Distribution

On Wednesday, July 31, 2013, Narrows Brewing launched their wholesale and retail distribution by delivering their first keg, a cask of Imperial Red Ale, to neighboring restaurant, Boathouse 19. This event was celebrated by the Narrows Brewing Company as a landmark achievement, commencing the expansion of their market.

Narrows Brewing part-owner Scott Wagner notes this event as being a “milestone” and is pleased to announce that, “the brewery is now fully ready to self-deliver one-half barrel and one-sixth barrel kegs for wholesale distribution.” Kegs are also available at the Taproom for retail sales. 

Excited to see Narrows Brewing's craft beers featured in popular restaurants and bars across the South Sound, Wagner encourages establishments and individuals interested in purchasing kegs to contact the brewery directly. Distribution information, including pricing, will soon be available on the brewery's website.

Outfitted with a repurposed, antique church pew and blown-up photographs representing Tacoma’s rugged, maritime history, Narrows Brewing’s Tap Room also features a 55-foot bar made from salvaged wood originally used as part of the Day Island Trestle Bridge. Narrows Brewing is not just a contemporary fixture to Washington’s growing collection of craft breweries, but a tangible testament to the importance of celebrating and preserving the past. 

Whether you come by land or by sea, Narrows Brewing invites you to enjoy the picturesque South Puget Sound while sipping on one of their six featured craft beers.
