Hayden’s Bombastic Brewing expands distribution to Nevada
Bombastic Brewing, a craft brewery in Hayden founded in 2016, is extending its distribution to now include Nevada.
Bombastic Brewing recently inked a distribution agreement with Reno-based NV Distributors, which distributes craft brands in Nevada.
Bombastic Brewing’s craft beers are now available at more than 330 locations in five states throughout the West. Bombastic Brewing is distributed in Idaho, Washington, Montana, Utah and now Nevada. Next, the company hopes to expand distribution to Oregon and Wyoming.
“Our mission is to make world class, highly sought after beer, and make it readily available to craft beer drinkers. We’re excited to get them into the hands of Nevadans,” said Russell Mann, Bombastic Brewing president.
Bombastic will initially be available in cans and on draft at locations in Reno and Sparks, and plans are in the works to expand distribution in Nevada, said NV Distributors Principal Alex McGinley.
Murder, Bombastic’s signature Mexican Chocolate Imperial Stout, and Attempted Murder Vanilla Cinnamon Imperial Stout are available at four Nevada locations, McGinley said.
