Suds Up! Port City Brewing Co. to Launch in NYC Market

Port City is about to meet the Five Boroughs.

Sarene Craft Beer, a new New York City distributor specializing in craft offerings, will begin carrying Port City Brewing Co. brews in early 2014, according to Brew York.

“We are proud to enter the metro New York market with Sarene Craft Beer Distributors,” Port City founder Bill Butcher said in a press release posted on BeerPulse.com. “Matt and Eric Schulman are talented and driven craft beer experts with great trade relationships in New York. We look forward to growing our business with them as our partners in this important market. ”

Port City is currently available in Virginia, Maryland, Delaware, North Carolina and southern New Jersey.

Port City is one of three breweries Sarene is bringing to the Big Apple. The others are Akron, Ohio’s Thirsty Dog and Central Waters out of Amherst, Wis.

According to the Brew York report:

“These breweries aren’t anything to scoff at—together, they have 17 Great American Beer Festival medals between them, and have a collective 32 years of brewing. Port City is the young upstart, celebrating its third anniversary next month, while Thirsty Dog and Central Waters have been serving up good beer since before 2000.”

The Port City Brewing Co. brewery is located at 3950 Wheeler Ave. It’s open from Wednesday through Sunday for tastings. Tours are available Thursday through Sunday.
