We make it possible for our customers to serve the very best craft beer, spirits, wine, meads, ciders, and sodas to their increasingly discerning, appreciative and educated consumers.

Today, we operate 7 warehouses dedicated to getting great craft beverages to our customers throughout Florida, Indiana, and Ohio. With a humming distribution network of great people and environmentally-friendly delivery vehicles in place, a selection of choice, small batch spirits and boutique wines from around the globe was added to the Cavalier Distributing portfolio in 2014 for Ohio and Florida. Whiskies from Kentucky, Australia, India, England and Scotland, German distilled beer spirits, and rums from the Caribbean and South America, to name a few, are now available. These eclectic spirits, designed for sophisticated modern cocktails or enjoyed one delicious sip at a time, reflect the same dedication to excellent beer products embodied by Cavalier Distributing. The customer-focused employees (now numbering 350), who know and appreciate excellent craft beverages are the reason for our continued annual growth. Today, the Cavalier sales team serves 10,000+ accounts and is keenly focused on excellent customer service and client sales goals.
