Paul Kavulak, President of Nebraska Brewing Company stated: “Years ago we’d been to Tennessee to evaluate the market and attend a beer festival as a participant in an effort to take the pulse of the Craft Beer culture there. We knew early on that this was a regional market that we’d love to enter but hadn’t quite made plans for Tennessee along the way. After numerous discussions with Jason Eskind of Best Brands, we believe we’ve found a wonderful home for our brands.”
Jason Eskind, Director of Sales for Best Brands added: “Best Brands Inc. is proud to announce the launch of Nebraska Brewing Company in Tennessee. The Best Brands family, now in its fourth generation, has been in the wholesale distribution business since 1939 when Prohibition was repealed in the state of Tennessee. Our mission is to be the Tennessee distributor of choice within the wholesale wine, beer, non-‐alc, and spirits industry.”
