Stateside Urbancraft Vodka, Philadelphia, is being represented in the two markets by Southern Glazer’s Wine & Spirits (SGWS) and plans to expand further this year.
“The D.C. and Maryland areas have thriving culinary, cocktail and nightlife scenes, which is why we gravitated towards these areas as part of our expansion efforts that align with our brand,” said Clement Pappas, co-owner and President of Stateside Urbancraft Vodka. “We’ve been very well received in Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Delaware and we look forward to offering our award-winning product to new, potential Stateside drinkers.”
Since Stateside Vodka is the fastest growing vodka in the state as well as the top-selling “Pennsylvania Spirit” according to the Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board‘s most recent annual report.
Stateside is distinguished by its inventive and one-of-a-kind process. The vodka is seven times-hand distilled from 100% US corn in a custom copper pot still. The proprietary finishing process features carbon, oxygen, and “ultra-cold” filtration steps.
The proofing water utilized in the vodka is also unique and was perfected over a two-year experimentation process. It is treated using a custom filtration system that produces an H2O formula containing a range of minerals, including electrolytes. Stateside is certified gluten-free and OU™ Kosher and is sugar and carbohydrate free.
The vodka is hand-bottled on location at the distillery in the Kensington neighborhood of Philadelphia and will now be distributed to the Maryland and D.C. markets.
Stateside is currently featured at bars, restaurants, and liquor stores across Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Delaware.
