For our first Distributor showcase of 2026, we are featuring Maletis Beverage! During the full month of March, we will hold multiple events showcasing all the brands Maletis offers. This is a great way to understand where the beer you drink comes from and how it gets to us and to you! During these events, brewery owners and makers, distributor reps and friends and family will flood our bar and shop. So stop in and have something new, favored or familiar. Learn where the beer and cider you drink comes from and celebrate with the people that make and deliver the beer industry to our doors.
Each month we will also work with a charity of the distributors choosing. This month, Maletis has picked Boys & Girls Club of Portland. So a portion of our sales for the month of March will be donated to the fine people there.
