Making the Most of Distribution with the Virginia Beer Distribution Company

For several years, Virginia wineries have been able to distribute and personally deliver their wines to local retailers using the Virginia Wine Distribution Company (VWDC), a non-profit corporation housed within the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (VDACS). This year, a similar option is available to breweries through the Virginia Beer Distribution Company (VBDC).

In this webinar, the Virginia SBDC’s Chris Van Orden will ask Dakota Rust, VBDC Operations Director, about the new distribution options available to Virginia breweries.

Speaker: Dakota Rust serves as the Operations Manager for the Virginia Beer Distribution Company (VBDC) housed within the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (VDACS). In his role, Dakota oversees the licensing of VBDC locations, marketing efforts, and daily operations among other duties. Dakota joined VBDC in February 2024 from Virginia ABC where he served as the Records Supervisor during the transition to the new licensing system, VAL.
