Necesita Tequila — a Portland-based, woman-owned premium spirit brand — has been named the official premium tequila partner for Columbia Distributing. This move will significantly broaden the availability of the company's Reposado, Cristalino, and Añejo expressions across retail stores, restaurants, and hospitality venues throughout the Pacific Northwest.
Brittany Daggett, Founder of Necesita Tequila, shared about the distribution agreement: "Partnering with Columbia Distributing is a defining moment for us. They are the gold standard in beverage distribution across the Pacific Northwest. This partnership allows us to meet growing demand while maintaining the premium positioning and brand experience that has fueled our momentum."
Necesita Tequila's spirits are made from a blend of highland and lowland blue Weber agave in Jalisco, Mexico, yet the brand carries a distinctive, playful identity that stands out in an increasingly crowded category.
