Horseheads Brewing Signs Distribution Deal with NYC-area Sarene Craft Beer Distributors

Sarene Craft Beer Distributors LLC today announced that it signed a distribution agreement with Horseheads Brewing Inc. for the Hudson Valley, New York City, and Long Island.

Based in Horseheads, New York, Horseheads Brewing has received numerous awards and accolades for their beers since opening their doors in 2007. Under the extensive experience of head brewer and owner, Ed Simchisen, Horseheads has received the award for best brewery in New York at TAP New York in 2010. More recently, their porter has ranked in the top three for “Best Craft Beer” in New York State for 2012 and 2013.

“We believe Horseheads may have even better offerings than the porter,” said Matt Schulman, Co-founder of Sarene. “We can’t wait to bring an incredible year-round portfolio, including one of the best pumpkin beers and best chili beers in the world to our book. We’re confident that going forward, Ed will continue to brew exceptional beer that keeps his customer base excited for each and every batch.”

Horseheads will be launching with Sarene in January with all package from the year-round collection as well as seasonal and specialty beers. Draft will be intermittently available upon request and consistently available later in 2014.

Of the 150 restaurants from Putnam and Westchester counties and northward, The Greens is the only restaurant in Columbia County to be part of one of the largest restaurant weeks in the country to date.

Hudson Valley Restaurant Week gives the best chefs in the Hudson Valley an opportunity to showcase their talent for fine cuisine using fresh, local produce and meats from area farms at a special price. This November, The Greens will offer two prix fixe menus, one for each week of the event. For $29.95, patrons of The Greens can choose an appetizer, entrée, and dessert, all crafted and made to order using ingredients from as few as nine area farms, plus homegrown vegetables and herbs from their own organic garden located on the 14th tee of the golf course.

Copake Country Club and The Greens restaurant is located at 44 Golf Course Road, on the shores of Copake Lake, just minutes off the Taconic State Parkway in Columbia County.

About the Company:

Built in 1921, Copake Country Club was designed by golf’s golden age architect, Devereux Emmet, just a few years before he designed the Congressional Golf Club in Bethesda, Maryland. Situated on 160 unspoiled rolling acres with breathtaking views of the Berkshire and Catskill Mountains at every hole, Copake Country Club has challenged and delighted golfers ever since.
