Star Distributors, Inc., added Chatham, Massachusetts-based Devil’s Purse Brewing Co. beers to its portfolio, marking the launch with several in-store tastings in September. Founded by Connecticut natives, brothers Michael and Richard Segerson grew up in Greenwich, Connecticut, and the duo’s inspiration came from their summers spent on Cape Cod. Devil’s Purse beers are sea-inspired, from Pollock Rip IPA to Intertidal Oyster Stout, which is brewed with fresh Cape Cod oysters. The company’s three core beers are available in Connecticut: Handline Kolsch, an unfiltered German-style kolsch, mildly hopped with vanguard; Surfman’s Check ESB, a malt-forward style driven by English malts and hopped with Northdown and East Kent Goldings; and the classic Pollock Rip IPA, featuring Apollo and Chinook hops for a dry finish.
