A nonprofit organization that supports breweries in Southwest Washington says that its former distribution company is “strong-arming” and “bullying” its businesses, including Washougal’s 54-40 Brewing Company and Trap Door Brewing, and Camas’ Grains of Wrath Brewing, by assigning them to “alternate distributors” without consulting them.

Earlier this month, Ridgefield-based Corwin Beverage Company announced that it will dissolve Kendall’s Pioneer Distributing and Browar Polska Distribution after being purchased by PepsiCo.
