Press Release: Pair O’ Dice Brewing has announced a partnership with Gold Coast Eagle Distributing, to distribute Pair O’ Dice beers throughout Manatee and Sarasota counties. The agreement brings Pair O’ Dice Brewing’s West Coast style IPAs and locally inspired ales south of the Sunshine Skyway Bridge for the first time.

“We’ve been building our brand for two years in our home market of Pinellas and Hillsborough to ensure that we have the capacity to meet demand,” said Pair O’ Dice Brewing Co-founder Julia Rosenthal. “We’re excited to be able to expand south and bring Pair O’ Dice to Manatee and Sarasota residents with Gold Coast Eagle Distributing as our partner.”

Pair O’ Dice Brewing is known for its award-winning balanced IPAs and ales brewed with local ingredients. These beers frequently rely on the use of difficult to source hops and fresh ingredients grown exclusively in Florida, such as strawberries from Plant City and orange blossom honey from Haines City.

“At Pair O’ Dice Brewing, we make the beers that we like to drink. We don’t make beers that fit into a specific beer category,” explained Pair O’ Dice Brewing’s Head Brewer and Co-founder Ken Rosenthal II. “Our flagship IPA is the Hop Bet Red IPA. We’ve never been able to enter it into a competition because until this year there wasn’t a competitive beer category that it fit in. We just focus on making the beers that we enjoy consistently and with the highest quality possible.” Gold Coast Eagle Distributing is a Sarasota-based distributor of craft beer and AB/InBev.

Pair O’ Dice Brewing joins the distributor’s already strong lineup of local craft beers, including Big Top Brewing, Darwin Brewing, and Motorworks Brewing.

Pair O’ Dice Brewing will be distributing their lineup of Core, Seasonal, and limited quantities of their Hop Streak Series beers. The initial lineup will include their Clearwater Honey Cream, Hop Bet Red IPA, Little Joe Stout, Cascade Amber, and Monster Roll IPA.
