Legend Brewing Co.’s distribution footprint is growing.

The brewery announced Friday that its beer will be available for sale this week in western North Carolina. Currently the brewery distributes in most of Virginia, as well as parts of North Carolina east of Interstate 95. The beer will be available on tap in restaurants and bars as well as in retail stores.

Distribution in the new territory will be handled by Next Generation Beer Co., a craft-beer importer and distributor based in Asheville, N.C.
