Mims Distributing Company Announces the Commodore by Ballast Point Brewing & Spirits Now Available in Six-Packs
North Carolina Beer and Wine Distributor and Brewery Partner Answer Consumer Demand for Craft Beer with 12-Ounce Bottles
Raleigh, NC, October 22, 2015 --(PR.com)-- Mims Distributing Company, a wholesale beverage distributor in North Carolina, has announced that Ballast Point Brewing & Spirits’ The Commodore American Stout is now available in six-pack form. Previously only available in draft, The Commodore six-pack features 12-ounce bottles full of the flavors of roast coffee and chocolate, with light citrus hop aromas and a bitter crisp finish. Craft beer lovers can also purchase the craft brew in 24-count cases and kegs.
Ballast Point is a San Diego, California-based brewery that joined Mims Distributing’s expanding portfolio in October 2014. It has received California’s Distillery of the Year Award for the past two years and won 19 awards at various California state fairs this summer. Started as a home brewery for the simple purpose of making better beer, Ballast Point retains a homegrown feel through beer names with a nautical theme – a passion of founders Jack White and Yuseff Cherney.

About Ballast Poin:
What started in 1996 as a small group of home brewers who simply wanted to make great beer evolved into the team of adventurers known today as Ballast Point. From bringing a hoppy twist to a porter, or adding four types of malt to its amber ale, to creating a breakthrough gold-medal winning IPA, the San Diego-based company is known for adding its own touch and asking if there’s a better way. Not satisfied with just brewing great beer, they got into the distilling business to see if they could add their own spin to another centuries-old craft. Today an internationally recognized leader in the craft brewing and spirits industry, the company makes over 50 styles of beer and bottles 14 spirits.
