Monday Night Brewing adds Memphis distribution
Atlanta based Monday Night Brewing is adding distribution to Memphis, Tennessee. The brewery has signed a distribution deal with A.S. Barbaro.
In 2018, the brewery added Chattanooga, Nashville, and Knoxville distribution and found a great fan reception.
“We were pleasantly surprised by the reaction we got in Tennessee when we expanded to Chattanooga, Nashville, and Knoxville last year. So we knew that we wanted to also come to Memphis and the rest of West Tennessee. But we also wanted to make sure that we could keep up with the demand of our other markets. After purchasing some new equipment and adding more staff, we’re confident we can handle the additional load.” – ” Monday Night Brewing CEO and co-founder Jeff Heck
