“Epic Brewing is a fantastic addition to our portfolio. The brewery, while relatively young, has taken off and grown into a nationally known and sought-after brand in just a few short years. Epic is one of those breweries our customers have been asking about for a while now and we’re thrilled to be able to finally bring them into Illinois,” said Brian Stockard, Director of Sales – Craft Beer at Breakthru Beverage.
Alex Wojcik a long-time sales representative for Epic will be covering the state. “A lot of our Chicago fans have had to make the trek out-of-state to find our beer. I’m happy to say that’s a thing of the past, now, and we can enjoy Epic on tap at our favorite bars. I’m looking forward to introducing Big Bad Baptist to everyone this fall.”
