Coming Soon: Rave Associates Expands Portfolio with Addition of Ghostfish Brewing Company’s Award-Winning Gluten Free Craft Beers

Bringing one of the nation’s most innovative gluten free breweries to Southeast Michigan

Ann Arbor, Michigan — March 18 2026— Rave Associates, a leading importer and distributor of fine beer and wine in Southeast Michigan, is proud to announce the addition of Ghostfish Brewing Company to its curated portfolio. Known for redefining gluten free craft beer, Ghostfish Brewing brings a bold, award-winning lineup that delivers full flavor without compromise.

Founded in Seattle, Washington, Ghostfish Brewing Company has built a national reputation for producing exceptional beers brewed entirely without gluten using alternative grains like millet, buckwheat, and rice. Their approach goes beyond meeting dietary needs; it challenges expectations of what gluten free beer can be.

“With Ghostfish, we’re not just adding a gluten free option we’re bringing in a category leader,” said Jim Warbritton, President at Rave Associates. “These are beers that stand on their own in any craft lineup. For our partners, that means access to something genuinely differentiated that appeals to both gluten free consumers and craft beer enthusiasts alike.”

The addition of Ghostfish Brewing strengthens Rave Associates’ commitment to offering distinctive, high-quality products that help retailers, bars, and restaurants stand out in an increasingly competitive market.

Ghostfish’s portfolio includes a range of innovative styles—from crisp lagers to hop-forward IPAs and rich, dark ales—all crafted with precision and creativity. Their beers have earned multiple national and international awards, solidifying their position as a pioneer in the gluten free craft beer space.

“This partnership opens the door for more consumers in Southeast Michigan to experience truly great beer without compromise,” added Rick Lack VP at Rave Associates. “It’s about giving our clients products that not only meet demand but create it.”

Ghostfish Brewing Company products are now available through Rave Associates. Trade partners interested in learning more or requesting availability can contact their Rave Associates representative or visit www.raveassociates.com.
