We are pleased to announce that Adams Beverages, Inc. in Charlotte, NC has just signed with Cirrus Tech to implement the Cirrus Semi-Automated Case Picking System. This newest signing marks Cirrus’ 12th beverage distributor automation system. The semi-automated case picking system will be a combination of load builders in a two-high pick module picking medium to slower moving cases and load builders picking the highest volume cases conventionally in a shortened pick path. The conventional pickers will finish their high volume picks and then go to the downlines to top off their pallet of orders that were picked in the system. The product will be waiting for them as it has already been picked by the load builders in the pick module. Cirrus Tech was first to market in 2019 in the beverage industry with this semi-automated case picking system. We are excited to have Adams Beverages, Inc. as our newest partner in warehouse automation.

In 1933, Frank Wilsbach started the business in a small uptown Harrisburg garage. It all started with Ballantine and then added a well-known supplier, Anheuser-Busch, in 1934. In 1959, Frank Wilsbach died, leaving the business to his wife, Bea. She appointed Harold Sourbeer to the president position and Bob Paul as vice-president. Up-and-coming supplier, Stroh’s Brewery, was added to the portfolio in the late 1960’s giving Wilsbach a strong base to grow the business. The Sourbeer family purchased the business in 1988 and continues to run the business today. With continued growth and the need for expansion, Wilsbach built our current facility in Harrisburg off I-83 in Susquehanna Township in 1999. Our portfolio continues to grow significantly, and we currently partner with over 45+ suppliers and represent the finest beverages from around the World.

In 1977, Rodney and Crockett purchased Durham Distributing, which lead to Coors Brewing awarding rights to Durham Distributing for Durham and Orange Counties. In 1988 after the purchase of Cary Wholesale, which expanded their footprint, Rodney and Crockett changed the company name to Long Beverage. In1989 Long Beverage was chosen as the Corona Franchise and acquired Galanides Inc., the local Pabst wholesaler. This acquisition came with other brands such as Colt and Rolling Rock. In 1996, Long Beverage’s next acquisition was Triangle Beverage, which allowed the company to consolidate the Stroh’s, Pabst, and Colt brands for the entire local market. Throughout the late 2000’s many brands were added to the portfolio including craft and domestic to non-alcoholic. 2018 became a big year when Heineken began being distributed. In February of 2020 Mims Distributing Co. was acquired, which welcomed some new and exciting brands that have created a strong presence in Long Beverage’s portfolio.

Gulf Distributing Company of Birmingham was formed in January of 2017 when the Maisel family entered into a joint venture with the Schilleci family of Supreme Beverage Company. GDC of Birmingham is a wholesale beverage distributor representing a multitude of global, national, regional and local breweries and beverage suppliers, such as MillerCoors, New Belgium Brewing Company, The Boston Beer Company, Abita Brewing Company, Trim Tab Brewery, Dr. Pepper Snapple Group and many others.
