About Us

The history of Eagle Rock Distributing Company goes all the way back the Prohibition Era, selling non-alcoholic beer and Canada Dry Ginger Ale. Quite a bit has changed since then and today we distribute a wide-array of premium and craft beers, cider, import beers, wines, spirits, as well as non-alcoholic beverages and local products out of our locations in Georgia and Colorado. One thing that hasn't changed since our start in 1930, however, is our unwavering commitment to our employees and loyal customers.

Eagle Rock entered the Colorado market in late-2020, assuming distribution operations for Anheuser-Busch products across the state. Today, we have over 500 employees in the state, operating out of 7 locations, and continue to welcome new positions to support our growth in the state.

Eagle Rock’s mission is to challenge our employees to incorporate innovation and work to better the company’s portfolio. We do this by offering world-class service and living out our core values of Family, Loyalty, Community, and Teamwork in everything that we do.
