Green Flash Pulls Distribution From 33 States, Eliminates 15 Percent of Workforce

January 16, 2018 by Dow Scoggins

Green Flash to Focus Distribution on Core Markets
San Diego, CA — Green Flash will streamline its distribution reach and focus sales and marketing efforts on core U.S. regions with the most efficient access to the Company’s San Diego and Virginia Beach breweries. This strategic re-focus will enhance the Company’s operations and provide consumers with the freshest beer possible. Concentrating sales and marketing efforts on a more focused geographic footprint will accelerate sales velocity, increase inventory turnover, and result in more than 90% of all shipped Green Flash and Alpine beer arriving the same day that it is shipped.

Beer brewed and packaged in San Diego will ship to Arizona, California, Colorado, Hawaii, Nebraska, Nevada, Texas, and Utah. Beer brewed and packaged in Virginia Beach will ship to Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee and Virginia. These East Coast states have collectively become the fastest growing Green Flash region, benefiting greatly from the Virginia Beach brewery’s first full year of production in 2017.


The Green Flash Brewhouse & Eatery in Lincoln, Nebraska will open as scheduled in the first quarter of 2018, and will brew beer serving the state of Nebraska. The Company is excited to build the Green Flash and Alpine brands in Nebraska, which will serve as the model for future Green Flash geographic expansions.

This strategic initiative has resulted in 15% of the Company’s workforce transitioning out of the Company. No employees working in Green Flash’s tasting rooms and no Alpine Beer Company employees were impacted. “We are sorry to lose these valued team members. They are all talented and passionate individuals who have contributed to Green Flash,” shared Mike Hinkley.

“Re-focusing our distribution was a difficult decision that we did not arrive at lightly,” says Chris Ross, President, “we are grateful to our friends working at the distributors and retailers that made it possible for our fans to enjoy Green Flash beer over the years.”
