Occidental Brewing Company is pleased to announce it has entered into a distribution agreement with Maletis Beverage. Occidental is excited for this new partnership, which will facilitate the spread of its delicious beer around Portland, OR, and Vancouver, WA, the target distribution territories. Brewer and co-founder Ben Engler says “Our truck could only carry so much beer, after all. For beer lovers, this means more Occidental in more locations. To our bar and restaurant partners, please continue to expect the same level of service we have strived to provide. You will still see plenty of the Occidental team; we just won’t be driving the truck. Maletis Beverage will officially take over distribution on Monday, February 13. Occidental will continue to self-distribute until that time.”
