Central State Brewing and Sun King Brewery, both from Indianapolis, may be in for some growth in their Florida distribution as Cavalier Distributing has acquired Micro Man Distributing in that state.

The first part of the article reads:

Craft beer wholesaler Cavalier Distributing has acquired the distribution rights to “all suppliers” within the portfolio of Florida-based Micro Man Distributors.

According to a letter sent by Cavalier founder and president George Fisher, that was addressed to its Florida beer suppliers, the transaction closed on Monday, October 22. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.

“Cavalier believes that these acquisitions will enhance our entire portfolio and continue to elevate better beer throughout Florida, and in turn, create additional opportunities for long-term growth for you and the category,” he wrote.

“We look forward to a smooth transition for the customers and suppliers,” Fisher added in his letter.

Micro Man, an independent craft and import beer wholesaler based in Oldsmar, did not return a request for comment.
