History of Fun Beverage Inc. Distributing

Fun Beverage, Inc. was founded in 1981 by Paul Wachholz and Dale Collins. The two business partners bought B&B Distributing, established in 1964; they later acquired Frontier Coors and Ralston Wines, spreading their business to more counties.

In 1998 and 1999, Fun Beverage, Inc. bought other local distributors, Vehrs Mountain States Beverage, Lee Distributing, and CL Wines. They became the largest locally owned and operated beer and wine distributor in the northwestern part of Montana.

Today, Fun Beverage, INC. is headquartered in Kalispell and operates in Flathead, Lincoln, Lake, Missoula, and Glacier counties, in the towns of Whitefish, Lakeside, Columbia Falls, Bigfork, Libby, Troy, Swan Lake, Eureka, East Glacier, Babb, and Glacier National Park. They are present with 84% of the wine market and 69% of the beer market share in Northwest Montana.

The Fun Beverage portfolio is very fun (pun intended) and includes beer, wine, and non-alcoholic drinks. They have domestic beers, imported beers, ciders, craft beers, flavored malts, Montana-made beers, hard seltzers, and ready-to-drink beverages. Their wine portfolio includes products from domestic and foreign manufacturers. Also, non-alcoholic beverages include water, sparkling waters, flavored soft drinks, sodas, energy drinks, coffees, teas, kombucha, non-alcoholic beers, and juices.

Fun Beverage enjoys a reputation of being an equal opportunity employer, and they provide a safe, clean, family-friendly, drug-free work environment for all employees. Their benefits package includes health, dental, and vision insurance, a company-matched health-savings account, life and short-term disability insurance, PTO, bereavement, jury duty leave, and a company-matched 401(k).

The company helps and supports community initiatives and supports programs, organizations, and activities that improve the communities they operate in. For example, Fun Beverage supports educational and arts programs, health organizations, community organizations, and sports and wildlife organizations.
