Portland, Oregon-based Eastside Distilling, which makes Redneck Riviera Whiskey, announced its authorization agreement with Meijer on March 22.
“We are very excited to be working with Meijer, one of the preeminent Midwest grocers. We started with an early feature in March in 100 selected stores, with distribution in all stores—totaling approximately 200—will follow in the coming months,” says Robert Manfredonia, president of Eastside Distilling. “We greatly appreciate their commitment to Redneck Riviera Whiskey and to have it available in all stores.”
Redneck Riviera Whiskey is a joint collaboration between Eastside and John Rich, half of the award-winning country music duo Big & Rich.
