B3 Beverage Company announced that Casey Jones Distillery (Hopkinsville, KY) has joined the B3 family, an expansion into distilled spirits that strengthens B3’s platform.

With Casey Jones joining the team, B3 Beverage Company now brings together a portfolio of independent, heritage-driven producers: 

• Bald Birds Brewing Co. (King or Prussia & Jersey Shore, PA) & Four Birds Distilling (PA) 
• Heavy Seas Beer (Baltimore, MD) 
• Yards Brewing Company (Philadelphia, PA) 
• Two Roads Brewing Company (Stratford, CT) 
• Casey Jones Distillery (Hopkinsville, KY) 

A Distillery Built on History, Pride, and Craft 

Casey Jones Distillery brings a deep sense of history to the B3 family, not just in name, but in spirit. Named after one of America’s most legendary folk heroes (Casey Jones), the distillery reflects the grit, independence, and pride that shaped early American distilling. From day one, Casey Jones has focused on doing things the right way, honoring tradition while producing spirits of consistency and quality. 

This commitment has earned the distillery a reputation for award-winning spirits and a loyal following built on community, authenticity, and great liquid. 

“We’ve poured our hearts into building Casey Jones, and we’ve always believed that how you make something matters just as much as what you make,” Peg Hays, Co-Founder of Casey Jones Distillery, said in a news release. “Partnering with B3 gives us the support to grow and reach more people, while still staying true to who we are and how we do things.” 

Built to Support Brands

At its core, B3 Beverage Company runs on a simple idea: if you want to protect craft and independence, you need the operational strength behind it. 

That’s why B3 is built as a dual-engine platform supporting distinctive, brand-led producers while also investing deeply in co-manufacturing capability, infrastructure, and operational expertise across the network. 

Instead of forcing every brand into one way of doing things, B3 is designed for flexibility and collaboration. When it makes sense, capacity can be optimized across facilities, production can shift to meet demand, and teams can share best practices while protecting what matters most: quality, consistency, and each brand’s identity. 

That balance is a strong manufacturing discipline paired with genuine respect for craftsmanship; this is what made Casey Jones a natural fit. 

A Natural Fit Built on Shared Values 

“Casey Jones has that rare mix of real history and really great liquid,” Joey Feerrar, CEO of B3 Beverage Company, said. “You feel it the moment you meet Peg and AJ. They care deeply about their history, their culture, and their team members. What they’ve built is special and we’re proud to partner with them.” 

For Casey Jones, joining B3 creates the opportunity to expand production, strengthen distribution, and plan for long-term growth while keeping the founders closely connected to the distillery and the craft that defines it. 

“Casey Jones has always been about honoring tradition and doing things the right way,” added Arlon Casey (AJ) Jones, Co-Founder of Casey Jones Distillery. “When we met the B3 team, it felt like a natural fit. They understand manufacturing, they respect our history, and they’re focused on helping us grow without losing what makes this distillery special.”

“I am extremely excited to see the investment by B3 which will strengthen the distillery’s impact on the community and secure Casey Jones’ legacy in the industry,” Cody Turner, Partner at Casey Jones Distillery, said.
