Our Story
About The Virginia Beer Distribution Company (VBDC)
Virginia Beer Distribution Company (VBDC) was established by the Virginia General Assembly in 2024. VBDC is a non-profit, non-stock corporation housed within the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (VDACS) to provide wholesale beer distribution services for licensed Virginia breweries. Many breweries in the Commonwealth have been eagerly awaiting the ability to have this distribution service similar to the Virginia Winery Distribution Company that was established in 2007. The VBDC Board is composed of two members of the Virginia Beer Wholesalers Association, two members of the Virginia Craft Brewers Guild, and the VDACS Commissioner.
Why the VBDC?
Assisting brewery and limited brewery manufacturers in bringing their products to market efficiently is our priority. We understand the challenges faced by local manufacturers, often grappling with either insufficient scale for distributor attention or prohibitive distribution costs. Similarly, retailers keen on offering Virginia craft beers seek accessible avenues to procure and serve these products.
