(Akron, OH) - Crafted Artisan Meadery announced today that it is once again expanding its distribution footprint to bring their award-winning meads to even more markets. Crafted has partnered with Craft Distribution Company located in Knoxville and with Carter Distributing Company in Chattanooga.
“We’re just stoked to bring our modern meads to a market like Tennessee where we’re seeing such a groundswell of excitement around craft lately,” said Crafted owner Kent Waldeck. “We love introducing people to the range of the mead category and seeing jaws drop when they try our mead for the first time. It’s awesome blowing away those pre-conceived notions that mead has to be syrupy sweet, like a wine or that mead is hard cider. The Crafted Mead revolution is real and we couldn’t be happier to be partnered with two distributors that are equally as passionate about craft as we are here in Ohio. Market visits and launch events are planned in each new market and details will be shared via social media.
Ohio-based Crafted produces award-winning still meads and year-round session meads such as their gold medal-winning Pollen-Nation or their acclaimed Bananas Foster Forever. Their focus is on quality and innovation with session meads that are available in both draft and package formats. A dedicated one-off release program provides a platform for showcasing the range of the category and keeps things fresh for Crafted fans. Crafted brings new expressions of the world’s oldest fermented beverage to the masses with their new barrel program, the foodie-inspired Gastrognome Series or their latest innovation; the saison-inspired Apothelyptic Farmhouse which is unfiltered and fermented with French Saison yeast.
