Who We Are
Premium Distributors of Washington, D.C. joined Reyes Beer Division and has been serving the Washington, D.C. market since 1996. We sell and distribute the highest share of beer in our market, including many of the world’s best-known beers and best-loved craft beers. Specializing in on-premise sales and distribution, we deliver 4.8 million cases of beer to over 2,300 customers each year.
Our History
Reyes Beer Division 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 Reyes Beer Division grow to become the national leader it is today.
Never resting on success, Reyes Beer Division is now comprised of 13 local beer 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.
