Who We Are

Crest Beverage joined Reyes Beer Division in 2009. With facilities in San Diego County and Imperial County, California, Crest Beverage services the largest craft beer market in the country, selling over 16.9 million cases to more than 4,765 customers annually in Southern California. We are considered a very special distributor to Reyes Beer Division, as our operations stem from the marriage of two very successful, longstanding family businesses of the Reyes and Sourapas families.

About Reyes Beer Division

It’s the resources we devote to developing our employees' skills and reinforcing that their safety is always our top priority. And it’s our promise to do everything we can to leave this planet better than how we found it.

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 18 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.
