Splash Beverage Group expands distribution in eastern U.S.

Splash Beverage Group Inc., a portfolio company of leading beverage brands, announced it has broadened its growing distribution coverage. In central Virginia, Splash has expanded its existing partnership with Brown Distributing, in which Brown will now add TapouT and Pulpoloco to its portfolio of beverages. In addition, Splash announced a partnership with Pine State Beverage, covering the majority of the state of Maine. The two companies have entered into distribution agreements for two of Splash's top-selling brands, Copa di Vino and Pulpoloco.

Brown Distributing has been a staple in the Virginia beverage market since 1919. With the addition of TapouT and Pulpoloco to its portfolio, Brown Distributing will offer more high-quality and innovative products to its customers. 

Pine State Beverage, headquartered in Gardiner, Maine, has been a leading distributor of premium beverages for over 80 years, with a reputation for excellent customer service and a deep understanding of the market. The company has grown over the years and is one of New England’s leaders in the marketing and distribution of beverage products with a customer base that is over 2,000 and growing among retailers, restaurants, venues and special event operators.  

"Partnering with Brown Distributing and Pine State Beverage are fantastic opportunities for Splash Beverage Group," Robert Nistico, CEO of Splash Beverage Group, said in the announcement. “This supports our discussion in our April update ... we continue to add distribution and retail in our universe. The better our coverage, the more retail chains will authorize our products. The authorizations don’t happened overnight, as I’ve described, but agreements like these are very important as we fill in coverage and increase availability.”
