Our Vision
Dutchess Beer Distributors strives to be the Hudson Valley's quality leader in wholesale beverage distribution while actively serving our customers and community. We cover the four counties of Greene, Columbia, Ulster, Dutchess, and Putnamn.
The Company
Dutchess Beer has two warehouses, one in Poughkeepsie and one in Kingston. The Kingston warehouse was constructed in 1998. Poughkeepsie was built in 1980 and expanded in 2004. We acquired Greene and Columbia counties in 1998. We now cover Dutchess, Ulster, Greene, and Columbia counties.
Dutchess Beer Distributors was founded in 1933 by Jack Jocias and covered both Dutchess and Ulster counties. Anthony Cappillino joined Mr. Jocias as a driver in 1933 and worked himself up to the position of manager. Anthony Kondysar started as office manager in the 1960's.
The Founders
