Alaskan Brewing expands to Ohio

Alaska’s largest brewery announced Friday that it will expand its distribution to the Buckeye State this summer, making Ohio the 18th state to offer Alaskan Brewing products.

The news was announced by email.

In the email, Alaskan said it has partnered with Columbus Distributing, Heidelberg Distributing, House of La Rose, Matesich Distributing and R.L. Lipton Distributing to get beer to bars, package stores and other retailers.

It is the first new state to offer Alaskan products since Michigan and North Dakota in 2014.

Ohio will be the farthest Alaskan has spread its reach; all 17 other states are closer to Alaska.
