The company’s current distribution footprint is Vermont, New Hampshire, Massachusetts and now Maine.

“Maine and Vermont have a lot in common, from their natural beauty and outdoor recreation to their wealth of high-quality breweries,” Sam von Trapp acknowledges, “Maine craft breweries are primarily focused on ales, so we’re very excited to bring our crisp lagers to this new state.”

Von Trapp Brewing has partnered with Pine State Beverage Co. of Gardiner for distribution in this launch. Family owned and operated since 1941 the Pine State Team has a strong reputation for customer service and brand execution throughout Maine. “We feel Pine State Beverage is the ideal partner for us,” says Sam von Trapp.
