E-Malt.com News article: United States: US nationwide market of exotic beers to welcome a new brew from Thailand

The distribution of the Thai Phuket Beer is expected to expand to more than 20 states by early 2010, PR-Inside communicated on May, 6.

A premium boutique beer, Phuket Beer was founded on the tropical island of Phuket in the southern region of Thailand. The lager has gained a distinct image as a lifestyle-brand product representing the carefree and laid back nature of living on an exotic tropical island. The beer is available in 330 ml cans or bottles.

Though locally inspired, Phuket Beer has gained international recognition, and is currently sold throughout the world in such countries as Thailand, Japan, Singapore, Taiwan, Canada, Mexico, USA, South Africa, Denmark, Germany, Ireland, Netherlands, Spain, UK, and Australia. Within the United States, Phuket Beer can be found in both on-premise and off-premise locations within Arizona, California, Illinois, Indiana, Wisconsin, Florida, Pennsylvania, Alabama, and Virginia.

Marani Brands will become the exclusive importer of Phuket Beer in the United States.

"Marani's growth strategy has been to consistently find unique brands that are synergistic and can easily fit within our distribution network, while also offering the greatest opportunity to expand that network in a way that benefits our product portfolio as a whole," said Marani CEO, Ara Zartarian.

Marani Brands, Inc. develops, positions, markets and distributes fine wine and spirit products in the United States as well as international markets.
