(Raleigh, NC) – Mutual Distributing Company announced today that it has added Draft Line Brewing to its beer portfolio. Draft Line Brewing is a 30 barrel brewery based in Fuquay-Varina, N.C.

“We are excited about the addition of Draft Line to our portfolio,” said William Riley, President of Mutual Distributing. “Draft Line is quickly becoming known for the quality of their products, and we look forward to growing their brand together in North Carolina.”

“Draft Line is excited to be joining the Mutual Craft Beer family.  We look forward to working with a staff that has established themselves as great partners for growing North Carolina breweries,” said Scott Palmieri, Co-Founder of Draft Line.

Draft Line Brewing Co. was founded in 2014 by Scott Palmieri and Scott Wood who share a passion for great beer and began like most home-brewers several years ago brewing five gallon increments in the Palmieri family kitchen. The home-brew setup morphed into 40 gallon increments and once the operation began to resemble a nano-brewey they decided to forge ahead with creating a microbrewery.

“We are very enthusiastic about this new partnership with Draft Line,” said Michael Hayek, Statewide Beer Division Manager for Mutual. “We have been very impressed by the quality and distinctiveness of their beer and look forward to helping them grow in the state of North Carolina.”

Draft Line offers flagship styles as well as a variety of seasonal beers throughout the year. Some of Draft Line’s offerings include: Graf Pale Ale, Riverstream Scotch Ale, and Hemmings Pilsner.

Mutual will begin distributing the Draft Line products in late February. Initial distribution will be focused on the greater Triangle area of North Carolina.

Mutual Distributing Company is a wholesale beer and wine distributor servicing the entire state of North Carolina. With over 650 employees and seven full-service branch offices throughout the state, Mutual is committed to providing quality products and exceptional customer service.
