Press Release:

(Albany, NY) – Steadfast Beer Co. has signed a distribution agreement with JD Beverage of Newark, New Jersey for the entire Garden State. After a year of growing sales and distribution in the Upstate New York and Hudson Valley markets, Steadfast recently shipped to SKI Beer Corp. in Brooklyn for total coverage in the Greater New York Metro Area, which has influenced their decision to sign with JD Beverage.

“We’ve seen such enthusiasm in New York City, Long Island, and Westchester County, continuing to New Jersey is a logical move. We want to focus on controlled growth in 2013. We’re excited to partner with JD Beverage – they’re as excited to sell our beer as we are to make it!” – Mark Crisafulli, co-owner of Steadfast Beer Co.

Steadfast Golden Blonde Ale is the second Gluten-Free craft beer in Steadfast Beer Co.’s repertoire. Brewed with sorghum, honey, traditional White Ale spices, and a Belgian yeast strain, Golden Blonde Ale is a calculated departure from the aggressively dry and hoppy flavors that define the company’s flagship Sorghum Pale Ale, released year-round in April of 2012.

Currently, Steadfast Sorghum Pale Ale is available in Upstate New York, The Hudson Valley of New York (including Westchester County), New York City, Long Island, Colorado (statewide), and the Chicago Metro Area. Steadfast Golden Blonde Ale 4-packs will be shipping to distributors in early May 2013. Plans beyond New Jersey this year include several other states in the Northeast.

Steadfast Beer Co. is a Gluten-Free craft beer company founded in Albany, NY in 2011. After making a splash in 2012 with the hoppiest Gluten-Free beer on the market, Steadfast Sorghum Pale Ale, company owners Mark Crisafulli and Jeremy Hosier have set enthusiastically on a path to create an unequaled collection of Gluten-Free beers for the true craft beer enthusiast.
