Who We Are

About Reyes
Beverage Group

At Reyes Beverage Group, we’re proud to be the largest beer distributor in the United States - and distribute a growing number of spirits brands, too. We deliver over 287 million cases annually to over 100,000 retail accounts across the nation. We are committed to being the distributor of choice by providing unparalleled service and continually striving to grow our customers’ profitability.

We’re dedicated to providing the best service to our customers and upholding our values while devoting resources to developing our employees’ skills and keeping them safe, all while striving to leave this planet better than we found it.

Our History

Reyes Beverage Group was the first company that started what is now known as Reyes Holdings. In 1976, fresh out of college, brothers Chris and Jude Reyes opened a small Schlitz beer distributorship in Spartanburg, South Carolina.

Within a year, the Reyes brothers added another distributorship in Savannah, Georgia and by 1979, they moved the company’s headquarters to Chicago. There, they purchased a distributorship with a small share of the market and with their flourishing entrepreneurial expertise, transformed it into a powerhouse, helping our organization grow to become the national leader it is today.

Never resting on success, Reyes Beverage Group is now comprised of 21 local beverage distributorships across the country. But we didn’t get there all at once. With hard work, a strategic mindset and our customers’ and suppliers’ best interests in mind, we have grown our presence in the marketplace over the years while staying true to our values.

Sustainability & Community Efforts

A Responsible & Sustainable Mindset

At Reyes Beverage Group, we are committed to reducing the carbon footprint of our operations, delivery systems and their impact on the environment. While we are making strides in operating with a more responsible and sustainable mindset, there is always room to improve our efﬁciencies. Working towards a better tomorrow is an ongoing commitment we’ve made through continuous innovation and process improvements, with plans already in place to grow these efforts in the future.

As the largest beer distributor in the country, it’s our responsibility to have a positive impact on the communities in which we operate, from our supply chain to our operations to our local community efforts. And in order to do that, we understand that it starts from within.
