BERLIN A local Bloody Mary
mix will be roosting with the Ravens
this season.
George's Bloody Mary mix is
headed to Ravens' M&T Bank stadi-
um in a big way and will be hitting
the D.C, Virginia and Delaware mar-
ket as well starting in January.
Bloody Marys made with Geor-
ge's will be available at the stadium,
the Ravens' walk, tailgate and ware-
house bars as well as the entire
club level.
"It's pretty exciting. We found out
last Thursday and we're pretty fired
up, as you can imagine," said found-
er Greg David.
Along with partners Theda and
Alex Bakis, David began marketing
George's mix in Berlin, where David
works as a bar manager at The
Globe. It has since picked up a dis-
tributor and a lot of brand momen-
tum, according to David. Becoming
available to football fans at the M&T
Bank stadium should be a huge
boost for George's.
"On a scale of 1 to 10, this is a
10. The marketing potential is huge
for us. It'll help give us a lot of expo-
sure to the Baltimore and Western
Shore market," David said.
In nearby Annapolis, George's
mix will be a featured Bloody Mary
at the 46th Annual Maryland Sea-
food Festival in early September.
The festival features professional
volleyball, live music, craft beer and
Maryland wine, and, of course,
nearly any kind of seafood that has
spent time in the ocean. David ex-
pects a crowd of up to 20,000 for
the two-day event.
For Bloody Marys at the festival,
George's will be partnering with
Finlandia vodka, a company that
David is enthusiastic about.
"They're an international compa-
ny that is doing a lot of work in
Maryland," he said of Finlandia.
The vodka and the mix have a
history, pairing last spring in a co-
pack that donated a portion of every
sale to the Oyster Recovery
Partnership.
Now that the mix is getting a
spotlight on the western shore, Da-
vid revealed that George's will soon
expand again.
"We are going into the D.C., Vir-
ginia and Delaware market as of
January 2014. We have distribution
lined up for just about the whole
East Coast, but it's been our intent
not to rush this whole thing, just to
give it a whole year with our distrib-
utor," he said.
The high-profile events should
make a transition to a larger market
easier by way of great exposure,
said David. George's will need it
since David has an ambitious
growth schedule.
"Our goal is to be on the entire
east coast in the next three years.
We can achieve at least distribution
to the entire mid-Atlantic in the next
18 to 24 months," he said. "We're
pretty excited."
