E-Malt.com News article: USA, MI & CO: Perrin Brewing to start selling its beers in Colorado by early April

Michigan’s Perrin Brewing plans to take the first step towards out-of-state distribution. Shipments of Perrin beer are expected to hit stores in Colorado late March/early April, Brewbound.com reported on March 7.

The growth for Perrin Brewing is expected to continue after a collaborative partnership with Oskar Blues Brewery, in Longmont, Colorado, took place in 2015. Part of this continued growth is from the addition of canned packaging, making Perrin beer available in most major retailers across the state of Michigan. Since the rollout of can distribution last fall, Perrin is prepared to offer canned beer outside of Michigan. Perrin will send draft and packaged options of its core beers, such as 98 Problems IPA, No Problems “A Session IPA”, Perrin Black Ale, and Grapefruit IPA, Perrin’s current seasonal beer which will be followed by Blackberry IPA on August 1.

“Through the partnership with Oskar Blues Brewery, the jump into the Colorado market seemed like a logical step towards out-of-state distribution for Perrin,” stated Keith Klopcic, President of Perrin Brewing. “The recent addition of canned packaging is right in tune with the Oskar Blues mindset in the craft industry and we are excited to open up to a whole new market”.

Founded in 2012, Comstock Park, MI based Perrin Brewing Company has seen rapid growth in their first few years. Perrin Brewing produced over 14,000 barrels in 2015, a 40% increase over 2014. Perrin is expected to have continued strong growth in 2016, under the Oskar Blues/Perrin ownership team, driven by their first full year of package offerings.
