Whether it is the first time you had a Bud or a Goose or a hoppy new craft, beer inspires rich stories and fond memories. At River North, we understand the power of great beer and we are passionate about bringing a finer beer experience to Chicagoland.

River North is a privately held distributor that sells and markets some of the world's most renowned brands. Our brewery partners include over 60 of the finest importers and American craft breweries, and together they brew hundreds of beers, all available to you. For our retail customers, we provide the best team members in the field that focus on training and education. From telling the stories of our breweries, to sharing beer knowledge, providing the best selling and marketing support and ensuring an excellent delivery experience, we are dedicated to representing our breweries and their beers to the best of our abilities.

River North's employees come from every neighborhood in the City and from all sides of town. Our days start early with the rumbling of delivery trucks, and continue into the evenings with visits from highly trained sales, marketing and merchandising teams. Our staff gets the best beer training possible and is supported by state-of-the art systems and delivery equipment. These dedicated teams call on retailers, fill orders of tried and true brands and introduce new craft and import options weekly. They rotate fresh product in supermarket coolers, change tap lines at Wrigley Field, introduce bar owners to exciting new beers, and even hustle to bring a new keg to a street festival.
