Columbus-based Good Liar just announced statewide expansion to Whole Foods and Giant Eagle Market District in Ohio, adding two of the state's biggest grocery chains to a network that already includes Heinen's, Lucky's Market, and Dave's Markets. The brand reports +298% year-over-year dollar growth and claims the #1 spot in dollar sales per point of distribution among NA 6-packs in the state.
Founder Jared Langston on what's driving it:
"We continually hear this is the best non-alc beer people have ever had. That's what gets me excited. Not only deliver a great brand but a product that absolutely smashes expectations. This category has so much more room to grow when the liquid delivers."
Their flagship is an American IPA built around drinkability and bitterness, not positioned as a health product, and the numbers are making their case for them. A second SKU is due later this year.
