PORTLAND, Ore., Feb. 13, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Eastside Distilling, Inc. (OTCQB: ESDI) ("Eastside" or the "Company"), a producer of award-winning hand-crafted spirits, today announced the Company is completing negotiations to sublease a new manufacturing space that will improve operational efficiencies and reduce cost of goods sold.

Grover Wickersham, Executive Chairman of Eastside Distilling, commented, "We are constantly looking for ways to better employ shareholder capital.
