Twin Peaks Restaurant Chain to Feature Redneck Riviera Whiskey

The 84-Restaurant Chain Announces its Support for Redneck Riviera Whiskey and Folds of Honor

Eastside Distilling, Inc. EAST today announced that Twin Peaks Restaurants has added Redneck Riviera Whiskey to its spirits product lineup in all 84 restaurants throughout 26 states. Redneck Riviera Whiskey will also be featured on Twin Peaks cocktail menus. Eastside anticipates that the full system rollout at Twin Peaks will be complete by the end of the first calendar quarter of 2019.

Jarrett Catalani, Senior Vice President of Sales for Eastside Distilling, said, "We are proud to add a prominent and established restaurant chain like Twin Peaks as our first national restaurant chain. Twin Peaks is a great fit for Redneck Riviera and the work hard, play hard lifestyle."

Twin Peaks caters to sports enthusiasts but is much more than the typical sports bar. The lodge welcomes every guest with prime-time matchups on wall-to-wall TVs. The entire menu is prepared in-house, to order and in generous portions to satisfy every appetite. The hearty made-from-scratch comfort food pairs perfectly with a classic Redneck Riviera Whiskey cocktail.

Redneck Riviera Whiskey is a small batch whiskey with vanilla honey smoothness and a subtle finish that consumers are sure to love. Redneck Riviera Whiskey was crafted by the famed distilling team at Eastside, headed up by Mel Heim and Travis Schoney. The team painstakingly developed what Eastside and John Rich believe is a superb whiskey unlike any other on the market, working over many months, with input from John Rich and friends.

Since 2007, the Folds of Honor Foundation has carried forth this singular, noble mission – to provide educational scholarships to spouses and children of America's fallen and disabled service members. Their motto says it best: "Honor Their Sacrifice. Educate Their Legacy." John Rich and Eastside have taken to heart the Folds of Honor mission and have been active advocates on behalf of the foundation, raising hundreds of thousands of dollars in 2018.

Launched in February 2018, Redneck Riviera Whiskey is now distributed in Texas, California, Louisiana, Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi, Florida, North Carolina, South Carolina, North Dakota, South Dakota, Oregon, Tennessee, Oklahoma, Nebraska, Kentucky, Missouri, Washington, Iowa, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Alaska, Illinois, Michigan, Kansas, Colorado, Nevada, Arizona, Indiana, Maryland, The District of Columbia, New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Vermont, New Hampshire, Maine and Arkansas.
