BALTIMORE – DuClaw Brewing Co. of Baltimore announces partnership with Northeast Beverage. Bars, restaurants, and retailers in the state of Connecticut will begin stocking, and pouring DuClaw’s unique brews this week.

DuClaw Brewing Co.’s distribution network has been growing steadily since the 2011 release of “Sweet Baby Jesus”. The popular Chocolate Peanut Butter Porter took home honors at the Great American Beer Festival, and has been leading the way for DuClaw into new markets ever since. DuClaw will be offering their core lineup of brews to The Constitution State, including ‘Sweet Baby Jesus’, ‘Funk’ blueberry citrus wheat ale, ‘Neon Gypsy’, their flagship IPA, and the beer’s popular flavored variation, ‘Blood Orange Neon Gypsy’. DuClaw will also offer many seasonal and limited release beers to the market throughout the year.

“We were fortunate enough to find two strong partners in both Connecticut and New York City at nearly the same moment in time.” said DuClaw Founder Dave Benfield. “Now we’re able to bring our wide ranging portfolio to one of the most diverse cross sections of America’s craft beer culture. Connecticut and the greater New York Metropolitan Area strike us as a community that is particularly energized about trying new and adventurous concepts, which we feel matches up very well with what we bring to the table.”
