(Press Release)

SAN MARCOS, CA—Further expanding their reach in the state of Pennsylvania, Port Brewing and The Lost Abbey have announced they’ve signed with distributor Wilson-McGinley to cover the Pittsburgh market.

“We certainly did our homework and due diligence to find the right wholesaler partner to represent our brands in the Western PA region” Said Brian Sauls, National Sales Manager for Port Brewing and The Lost Abbey. “We feel Wilson-McGinley represents the same core values as Lost Abbey / Port Brewing and that contagious passion and enthusiasm for great craft beer, shared with our current amazing group of distributors, makes this a partnership we are looking forward to”

To help serve the market, Port Brewing and The Lost Abbey have hired their first East-Coast Sales Representative with the addition of Matt Pushinsky. Matt joined the company after having worked previously in Pennsylvania with Belukus Importing and in California with Sovereign Brands. Having worked on both sides of the country, it seemed a perfect fit for Matt to sell West Coast beer on the East Coast.

“Pittsburgh is an exciting and enthusiastic market to work in,” said East Coast Sales Representative Matt Pushinsky. “I look forward to opening the new territory and working with Wilson-McGinley to bring Port & Lost Abbey to Western PA.”

The Pittsburgh market will slowly begin to receive the full lineup of core and seasonal beers from both Port Brewing and Lost Abbey, with the goal to have the full portfolio by next fall. To celebrate the new partnership, Chief Operating Owner Tomme Arthur will head out to Pittsburgh following San Diego Beer Week for a week of events throughout the market.
