USA, MI: Kuhnhenn Brewing Company plans expansion

Kuhnhenn Brewing from Clinton Township, MI is set to expand the distribution of its Kuhnhenn brand beers in Michigan in collaboration with three new distributors - Eastown Distributors, O&W Distributing and Dan Henry Distributing, according to Drinks Business Review.

The expansion is part of the brewery's plans to open its 20,000 bbl capacity production plant in Clinton, Michigan.

The brewery plans to open this plant and a public house in March of 2014 and distribution starts from late April.

Eastown Distributors will distribute Kuhnhenn brand for its territory in Wayne County including Detroit, Grosse Pointes, and Downriver communities.

O&W Distributing will distribute Kuhnhenn throughout seven counties, including Ann Arbor, Jackson, Monroe and Plymouth.

Dan Henry Distributing will hold the rights to distribute Kuhnhenn brand in a four county region including East Lansing and Howell.

Kuhnhenn Brewing marketing and sales director Jon Piepenbrok said that despite all the calls, emails and personal visits from distributors in other states, their main focus is Michigan.

"We have chosen wholesale partners that mirror our core values and can adapt to the changing market conditions in the field of craft beer. We will go out of state, but not until Michigan is at least close to satisfied," Piepenbrok added.
