Homegrown Distribution

In May 2011 Merrimack Valley Distributing created an alliance with four other Massachusetts beer distributors with the goal of developing a new company that would become the ambassador of the emerging craft and specialty brand markets.

What was once known as Massachusetts Beverage Alliance has evolved into a full service standalone craft beer distributor now called Homegrown Distribution. HGD prides itself on its outstanding customer service and dedication to the brands and products it represents.

Collectively the group represents over 100 million cases of Malt beverage products and 200+ years of industry experience in Texas, Rhode Island, Ohio, Indiana , New York, Alabama, North Carolina, Massachusetts and the Florida Pan Handle.
