New Realm Brewing has signed a licensing agreement with Bold Mariner Brewery to produce and distribute Frogman Lager and CPO IPA. The deal takes effect on February 26, 2026, and will expand the Virginia-based brands across New Realm's network. A launch party is scheduled for May 15 in Virginia Beach.
New Realm Brewing announced a licensing deal on Monday to brew and distribute two popular beers from Bold Mariner Brewery: Frogman Lager and CPO IPA. The agreement, effective February 26, 2026, aims to broaden the reach of these Virginia brands through New Realm's distribution network. Brewbound first reported the partnership, which marks a significant expansion for Bold Mariner's offerings outside its home state. The deal allows New Realm to handle production and distribution, leveraging its established infrastructure. Frogman Lager and CPO IPA, known for their strong following in Virginia, will now access new markets via this collaboration. This move reflects ongoing consolidation trends in the craft beer industry as breweries seek wider distribution without building new facilities. A launch party is set for May 15 in Virginia Beach to celebrate the partnership. The event will highlight the beers' availability through New Realm's network. No further details on production volumes or specific markets were immediately available.
