EUGENE, Ore.—Beginning this week, Ninkasi Brewing Company craft beers will be available throughout Utah. In a partnership with General Distributing Company of Salt Lake City, Utah marks the ninth state where Ninkasi is sold.

“We are excited to continue to build craft beer culture and community in a state that has a lot of great beer fans, breweries, and of course, all kinds of spectacular recreation,” says Nikos Ridge, Ninkasi CEO and co-founder.

Since 2006, co-founders Nikos Ridge and Jamie Floyd have built a steadfast offering of year-round craft beers ranging from highly-hopped Northwest IPAs like Total Domination IPA and Tricerahops Double IPA, to smooth, complex stouts, to a year-round lager, as well as seasonal and special release offerings.

“Our valued retail partners are excited to welcome Ninkasi and offer their excellent lineup of brands to the beer drinkers of our state,” states Andy Zweber, president and CEO of General Distributing Company. “Ninkasi will help shape our growing craft beer movement with great beers and a commitment to adding value to its consumers’ experiences.”
