Garden Path Fermentation of Burlington, Washington just announced that it has entered into a distribution partnership with Vinea, making it the first beer producer in Vinea’s book. (As far as I can tell.) Vinea describes itself as “A selective Seattle importer working directly with passionate winemakers to bring Earth-friendly, site-specific wines to the Northwest.”
Although it may seem odd for a beer producer to sign on with a wine distribytor, given the nature of the beers produced by Garden Path Fermentation, the partnership makes more sense. Here is the announcement from Garden Path.
Burlington, Wash., January 27, 2021. Garden Path Fermentation announces a new strategic distribution partnership with Seattle-based importer Vinea. Vinea works directly with small producers around the world to bring sustainable, natural yeast-driven and site-specific wine to the Northwest, and focuses on finding thoughtful and similarly minded retailers and restaurants to showcase their diverse selection of products. Garden Path is currently the only beer producer in Vinea’s book, and will operate within a non-exclusive agreement, continuing to self-distribute and export to our existing customers and accounts that are not currently working with Vinea, and acting as liaison as needed for those that are.
