Zonafide Beverages LLC forms from the merger of Huss Brewing Co. and PHX Beer Co., creating Arizona's second-largest craft beer producer with nearly 30,000 barrels annual capacity. Operations will be centralized in Tempe at Huss Brewing's facility to streamline production and improve efficiencies. Both original brands will be retained along with signature beers such as Scottsdale Blonde and Arizona Gold. Steve Robbins becomes President and CEO, and Jeff Huss becomes Brewmaster, combining managerial and brewing expertise. Crescent Crown Distributing supported the union as creating "a stronger and more efficient organization." The merger aims to expand distribution across Arizona while balancing innovation and tradition.
This exciting partnership positions Zonafide Beverages as the second-largest craft beer producer in Arizona, with a combined production capacity approaching 30,000 barrels annually. Centralizing operations in Tempe, the consolidation at Huss Brewing's facility aims to streamline production while enhancing efficiencies. Despite joining forces, both breweries will maintain their individual brand identities and preserve their fan-favorite brews-think Scottsdale Blonde, Arizona Gold, and other signature offerings-just as lovers of local craft beer would expect.
Steve Robbins, currently at the helm of PHX Beer Co., has been named President and CEO of Zonafide Beverages. Jeff Huss, co-founder of Huss Brewing, steps into the role of Brewmaster, leveraging decades of brewing expertise to guide the merged entity's craft and innovation vision. The merger has garnered positive feedback from Crescent Crown Distributing, a longtime partner for both breweries. Their leadership sees this union as a promising move toward "a stronger and more efficient organization".
