The expansion is the result of a successful multimillion dollar Series A Funding round in 2017 coupled with the growth in popularity of low-ABV (alcohol by volume) and low-calorie and carbohydrate beverages in an increasingly health-conscious consumer market. Additional expansion into New York, New Jersey, Texas and Tennessee is scheduled for April. “KEEL is unlike any other premium spirit on the market today,” said Bill Dessel, President and Co-founder of KEEL. “With today’s savvy consumers interested in balancing fun with a healthy lifestyle, KEEL has emerged as the go-to drink for anyone with an active lifestyle.” The brand is currently available in restaurants and liquor stores throughout Colorado, Florida and Georgia, including KEEL’s marquis partner locations: The Denver Broncos’ Sports Authority Field at Mile High, E3 Chophouse at Steamboat Springs (co-owned by Luke Bryan, Jason Aldean, Jeff Adam and Adam LaRoche) in Colorado; The Breakers, Trump National Doral Miami, Isla Del Sol Yacht & Country Club and Ocean Reef Club in Key Largo, and Ocean’s Ten in Florida; and Atkin’s Park Tavern (Atlanta’s oldest continuously licensed tavern), Establishment, The Highlander, Highland Tap, and The Whelan in Georgia.
