ROK Drinks has signed a distribution deal with US-based Mikeska Distributing for ABK Bavarian Beer in Texas.

The deal is part of ROK Drinks’ expansion strategy to build its presence in the US. The drinks company is a subsidiary of ROK Stars, which is a consumer products and environmental technologies development company co-founded by John Paul DeJoria and Jonathan Kendrick.

ROK Stars chairman Jonathan Kendrick said: “We are thrilled to be working with Mikeska Distributing as Texas is a key market for the continued growth of the ABK brand across the US.

“The award-winning ABK Beers is brewed using barley, hops, and pure local waters in a 700-year-old brewery in Kaufbeuren, Germany.”

“We will continue to grow the distribution of our entire drinks portfolio over the coming months.”
