Florida-based Big Storm Brewing Company is coming to the Buckeye State. Big Storm announced today that Ohio Eagle Distributing will begin distributing its core beers around the Cincinnati area starting this month.
“Ohio’s craft beer scene is impressive and stronger than ever. We’re excited to be a part of this energy and to have the opportunity to share our unique and dynamic beers with consumers in the Cincinnati region,” said Big Storm co-owner L.J. Govoni.
Ohio Eagle Distributing is distributing two of Big Storm’s most popular brews, Tropic Pressure Florida Ale (Photo Attached) and Key Lime Shandy. They will also be distributing Big Storm’s Bromosa Brut IPA and its award-winning Oktoberfest Märzen Lager.
Selling about 3.5 million cases of beer annually, Ohio Eagle has a strong reach in the southwest Ohio region, serving nine counties including Adams, Brown, Butler, Clermont, Clinton, Hamilton, Highland, Preble, Warren.
“We are beyond thrilled to work with Ohio Eagle. Their commitment to relationship building and execution is second to none,” Govoni added.
And, the company already has strong ties to the Sunshine State, as a local subsidiary of Florida-based Gold Coast Eagle Distributing. Before joining the Florida team, Ohio Eagle operated for 81 years as the family-owned Dickerson Distributing. To this day, the company prides itself on being involved in the local community, while supporting innovative craft beer brands like Big Storm.
