Major beverage alcohol wholesaler RNDC has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy as it seeks potential sale transactions and an orderly wind down. ⚖️📉

The filing follows a year of major market exits and asset sales, including an 11-market deal with Reyes Beverage Group, and lists more than $300 million in top unsecured claims. RNDC said shifting consumer preferences and a tougher wholesale environment pushed the company toward an in-court process, while several pending deals could further reshape wine and spirits distribution. 🍷🚚

One of the most significant undertakings we’ve seen in the beverage business. With the buyout of RNDC - Reyes is setting up shop & poised to purchase existing beer distributors in states it had not previously done business. Maybe even your state. Stay tuned for what happens next…

Reyes Beverage Group just closed the largest acquisition in its 50-year history — and CEO Tom Day says the buying spree isn’t over. 🍺📦

With the purchase of 11 RNDC markets, Reyes becomes the No. 3 wine and spirits distributor in the U.S., adding 38 million cases, 600+ suppliers, 40,000 SKUs and $4 billion in revenue across 11 states and D.C. Day called the deal a “transformational shift,” positioning Reyes as a “total beverage provider” amid category convergence — and hinted it could soon climb even higher in the rankings. 🍷🥃

The company rebranded 1,800 trucks in 36 hours, acquired 31 buildings and onboarded more than 5,000 employees — all while signaling it’s actively shopping for more distributors in both beer and beyond.

Happy National Beer Day 🍺 Today we celebrate the 1933 enactment of the Cullen‑Harrison Act. This did more than legalize the sale of beer after 13 years of Prohibition — it paved the way for a $471 billion American beer industry that delivers public safety and unparalleled consumer choice:

🏘️ Local regulation empowers communities to decide how beer is sold and enjoyed

🚚 Alcohol sales go through three tiers of licensed businesses (brewers/importers ➜ distributors ➜ retailers), ensuring only fresh, authorized products reach the market

🍻 Independent distribution helps brewers of all sizes compete for store shelves and bar taps — which means more beer to choose from!

Cheers to 93 years of successful alcohol regulation this
