Press Release: Knee Deep Brewing Company of Auburn, CA. is now actively selling in the state of Florida. “This is the fourth state we have signed with in the last three months and we plan on signing with at least ten more by years end. We are pleased to announce the partnership with Crafty Connoisseurs Distributing who will be selling Knee Deep in the South Eastern region of Florida,” said Andrew Moore Sales Manager of Knee Deep. “Crafty is a smaller family-run wholesaler with a very similar business model to ours, and being that we are a family run brewery we would be honored to be represented by a company who cares for the smaller brand. Florida has been on our radar for a few years now and we are extremely excited to be launching out there.

“We could not be more excited to partner up with such an outstanding brewery like Knee Deep” – said Jonathan Myer Sales Manager of Crafty Connoisseurs “Their attention to producing only high quality beers mirrors our companies philosophy of doing business. Look for their beers to start hitting your favorite craft beer store as well as on tap at select locations starting March 1st. Also be on the look out for tap takeovers, pint nights and in-store tastings to educate Florida consumers on these amazing beers.”
