California Independent Beer Wholesalers Launch New Association

In the wake of several terminations by a handful of larger beer suppliers over the last two years, a group of California beer wholesalers have launched a new association, the California Family Beer Distributors (CFBD).

The new group cements the splintering from the state’s existing beer wholesalers association, the California Beer and Beverage Distributors (CBBD), following an exodus of several independent Anheuser-Busch wholesalers over the summer.
