Deschutes Brewery, the fabled maker of Black Butte Porter and Mirror Pond Pale Ale, has decided to expand its distribution of those to beers to include Minnesota. Beginning the week of March 29th, J.J. Taylor Distributing Company will begin selling Mirror Pond and Black Butte in the Twin Cities area.

“Minnesota is a place where people are passionate about their beer,” said Gary Fish, president and founder of Deschutes Brewery. “Getting our beer to more people who want it and are passionate about it has been part of our plan for quite a while, and we are looking forward to developing that relationship in Minnesota, starting with our two most popular beers. The response so far has been outstanding.”
