Mahou USA consolidates draft operations through MicroStar to improve operational efficiency, flexibility and scalability
DENVER, July 21, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- MicroStar Logistics (“MicroStar”) today announced a long-term agreement with Mahou USA, a combination of brands from Avery Brewing, Founders Brewing and Mahou Imports (Mahou Cinco Estrellas), to support and streamline their draft beer operations through a single keg supply chain partnership. Specializing in brews that are complex, in-your-face ales, with huge aromatics and tons of flavor, Mahou USA ranks among the top 10 largest craft breweries in the U.S.
The agreement builds on Avery Brewing’s long-standing relationship with MicroStar and extends MicroStar’s pooled-keg model across the broader Mahou USA craft portfolio, including Founders.
