Just 75 years ago, beer was illegal in the United States. The 18th Amendment to U.S. Constitution began the thirteen year period known as Prohibition; but in 1933, Congress passed and the states ratified the 21st Amendment which repealed Prohibition but also established state-based alcohol regulation.

Today, America’s 2,750 licensed beer distributors are the critical link in the three-tier system of beer distribution, sourcing fresh beer only from licensed brewers and importers and supplying it safely only to licensed retailers.

America’s beer distributors provide good jobs to 91,000 hard-working men and women, who start the engines on beer trucks long before the sun comes up. They earn solid wages and recieve company-provided benefits including health care.

The American beer distribution system provides transparency and traceability. Beer distributors are able to track the product from the time it leaves the brewer or importer until the time it reaches a licensed retailer.
