E-Malt.com News article: USA: Aladdin Beverage places first order for the Patagonia Blond Ale

Aladdin Beverage is pleased to announce that the Company has placed its first order with the Patagonia Brewery in Argentina for the Patagonia Blond Ale, Earth Times reported April 17. Aladdin Beverage anticipates brisk sales based on the strong demand for the Blond Ale and the shipment is expected to be in the hands of Aladdin's U.S. distributors by late May.

The Patagonia Blond Ale has been introduced around the world and U.S. demand for it is strong based on previous popularity and recent lack of availability. Its smooth taste, exotic packaging and marketing materials make for stunning displays in stores, bars and restaurants. Aladdin Beverage has distribution channels in place around the U.S. and is aggressively pursuing additional distributors to maximize sales.

Established in 1884, the Patagonia Brewery (Cerveceria Patagonia Primitiva S.A.) is the oldest brewery in Argentina. Its beers are brewed with all natural ingredients, with no additives or preservatives, in strict accordance with an old law dictated by Bavarian Duke William IV, which stated that beer is to be brewed only with pure malted barley, hops, yeast, and water.

"We are thrilled to be able to deliver this shipment as early as we are. This delivery will open the doors for additional orders of Patagonia Blond Ale and our other beers throughout the year. The ball is rolling and this is the first a step in the process of achieving nationwide distribution," stated Ted O'Conner, CEO and President of Aladdin Beverage.

Aladdin Beverage has entered the Patagonia Blond Ale in the 2008 World Beer Cup, held at the Craft Brewers Conference in San Diego, California, from April 15 - 19. The World Beer Cup is the most prestigious beer competition in the world and winners will be announced on April 19.
