Other distributors include The Odom, Craig Stein Distributing, Marine View Beverage, Crown Distributing and Sound Beverage.

Founded in 1996, the US-based brewery offers hop-centric beers including year-round and special releases.

Stone Brewing sales vice president Todd Karnig said: "Their passion for craft beer is evident and we look forward to working with them to make Stone beer more readily available to our Washington fans."

Great Artisan Beverage president Nick Gagliardi said that Great Artisan Beverage's Washington network is thrilled to expand their footprint with one of the craft breweries in the US.

"GAB wholesalers now represent Stone in Washington, Idaho and Alaska. The teams from Stone and GAB together share an intense passion for craft and specialty beer," Gagliardi added.

Great Artisan has a network of independent beverage wholesalers offering sales, marketing and distribution opportunities to craft and specialty beverage suppliers across Alaska, Idaho, Oregon, Washington and Montana.
