How We Connect Brands to Retailers
For Retailers
We work with bars, restaurants, liquor stores, grocery and convenience stores, wherever goods are sold to thirsty customers.

Far Reaching Footprint
Our four facilities allow us to reach communities from the Iowa border to the Canadian border, from the cities and suburbs to small towns and tourist destinations.
A Partner, Not Just a Distributor
From national brands to new local brands, we’re here to earn and keep your business by connecting your brand to the right on- and off-premise outlets.
The Three-Tier System
The three-tier system was created by legislators after Prohibition to regulate the production, distribution and sale of alcohol. Dahlheimer, as a distributor, sits in the middle of the system, between the producers and retailers providing important safety measures and preventing corruption that was common in Prohibition.
While this was initially a regulatory control, there are benefits to the retailer, as we provide localized support. By offering more frequent deliveries, we help better manage store inventories, monitor beer freshness and pitch in to build impactful displays.
