Ben E. Keith Beverage Distributors Introduces MAUI BREWING CO. to Texas

These hand crafted ales and lagers will be distributed throughout the Lone Star State

Texans have been enjoying tropical vacations in Maui for decades and now they can enjoy Maui Brewing Co.’s great beers in the privacy of their own back yard. Maui Brewing Co. has partnered with Ben E. Keith Beverage Distributors to bring their beloved beers to the Lone Star State.
Founded in 2005 by Garrett Marrero and Melanie Oxley, Maui Brewing Co. is one of Hawaii’s fastest growing companies and the island’s only microbrewery. From the beginning, they envisioned a brewery that was 100% Hawaiian and they set out to create that brewery. All Maui Brewing Co. beers are brewed in Maui, all cans are produced in Oahu, and package designs come from local Maui artists.
“We are very excited to distribute Maui Brewing Co. beers throughout the state of Texas and look forward to a long and happy partnership,” said Kevin Bartholomew, president of Ben E. Keith Beverage Distributors.
Ben E. Keith has begun distributing Bikini Blonde Lager, Big Swell IPA, Mana Wheat and CoCoNut Porter beers in cans and on draught throughout the state of Texas. Limited amounts of seasonal or guest beers will be available in the near future. More information about Maui Brewing Co. can be found at www.mauibrewingco.com.
