Schilling takes over Glazer's beers

by Leslie Turk

Schilling is now distributing brands from breweries Spoetzl, Vermont Hard Cider, Rogue Ales & Spirits, Sapporo and Warsteiner.

Schilling Distributing Company is now the exclusive distributor of beer brands previously handled by Glazer's in Acadiana. The transition took place April 1, according to an announcement by Schilling.

Schilling has taken over brands from breweries Spoetzl, Vermont Hard Cider, Rogue Ales & Spirits, Sapporo and Warsteiner. The deal comes as Glazer's moves out of the beer distribution business and at the same time Schilling is introducing New Belgium brands, including Fat Tire Amber Ale, to the state.
