Champion Brands and Dog Rose Brewing Co. partner for distribution in Northeast Florida
St. Augustine brewed craft beer will be distributed in six counties.
- Jacksonville, FL (1888PressRelease) June 14, 2019 - Champion Brands, a Northeast Florida beverage wholesaler, has partnered with their first brewery out of St. Augustine. The company will now distribute craft beers from Dog Rose Brewing Company to restaurants and bars in Duval, St. Johns, Clay, Baker, Nassau and Putnam counties. Dog Rose Brewing is owned and operated by Doug Murr and his wife, Courtney.
“Dog Rose Brewing Company is ecstatic to share our experience and passion for craft beer with our community,” said Doug. “We believe there is a gap in the market for quality true to style beers and with the help of Champion Brands, we are ready to fill it.”
Courtney added, “It was very important to Dog Rose that we partner with a company that shares our core values and overall vision for our brand. We found that in Champion Brands and couldn’t be more excited about it.”
Doug spent 15 years as the head brewer with A1A Ale Works in St. Augustine before he and his wife opened their own establishment in the historic Lincolnville neighborhood in October of 2017. This is the first St. Augustine-based brewery partner for Champion Brands. The beverage wholesaler prides itself on supporting local breweries and promoting the continued growth of locally crafted beverages in Northeast Florida.
“It’s rare to have a new brewery hit distribution with so much commercial brewing experience behind their beers,” said Champion Brands Craft & Specialty Category Manager Earl Sutton. “We have no doubt the flavorful beers Doug is brewing will gain countless new fans as they’re offered at restaurants and bars around St. Augustine and beyond. We’re both humbled and excited to be a part of the next chapter of the Dog Rose story. To bring the Murr and the Champion Brands families together in this partnership is something truly special.”
The Dog Rose brewery and taproom is located at 77 Bridge St. in St. Augustine in the historic neighborhood of Lincolnville. It opens daily at 12:00 pm.
