DALLAS, December 7, 2017 — Ben E. Keith Beverages is pleased to announce their partnership with TUPPS Brewery, a McKinney-based brewery, for distribution of their beers throughout North Texas.
TUPPS Brewer opened its doors in May of 2015 and in just one year grew over 400 percent in total volume. TUPPS Brewery began self-distributing in North Texas but soon realized the need for a wholesaler partner. “To be successful in the beer business you have to, first and foremost, make great beer. Second, you have to present yourself well to the market. Last, but very far from least, you have to manage the distribution of your product very well,” said Chase Lewis, Vice President of Sales at TUPPS Brewery. “It’s an incredibly difficult and important part of this industry. Ben E. Keith has been distributing beer in North Texas with excellence for decades. We couldn’t be happier to be partnering with such a strong and supportive distribution company.”
“TUPPS Brewery has done an extraordinary job brewing a portfolio of great beers and establishing their brands and brewery in Texas, we are excited and honored to be chosen as their distributor,” said Steve Olkewicz, Business Development Manager of Ben E. Keith Beverages. “The TUPPS approach to business, marketing, innovation, and high-quality beer provides us with a great foundation for a successful partnership. We look forward to the opportunity to have the TUPPS Brands in our portfolio, and are eager to continue the expansion of their brands in our markets.”
