Location: 2247 Hubbard Ave, Decatur, IL 62526
Launch Date: September 17, 2024
Licenses: Import License & Wholesale Distribution License

We’re excited to announce the launch of DISTRYB, Illinois’ first Black-owned liquor distribution company, located right in the heart of Decatur! On September 17, 2024, we officially received our Import License and Wholesale Distribution License, allowing us to start stocking an incredible lineup of Black-owned wine and spirits brands, ready to make their mark in Illinois.

At DISTRYB, we’re more than just a distribution company; we’re a movement. Our mission is to empower and amplify Black-owned wine and spirits brands across Illinois, offering premium products to both on-premise and off-premise license holders. Our streamlined distribution services make it easy for businesses throughout Illinois to access an exciting and curated selection of Black-owned brands, with a focus on quality, community, and sustainability.

Prioritizing Black-Owned Wine & Spirits in Illinois

DISTRYB is proud to serve as the gateway for Black-owned liquor brands to flourish in Illinois. We believe in the power of representation and the impact of economic empowerment in our communities. Our goal is to provide a platform for Black-owned wine and spirits brands to reach consumers and businesses across the state, fostering greater equity within the industry and expanding access to premium, unique products.

We’re thrilled to be introducing some outstanding brands these next couple months, including Black Momma Vodka—created by the first African American woman distiller—and Liquid Gold by Ron Isley, a luxurious, high-quality spirit that brings a touch of celebrity refinement to Illinois bars and retailers.

Shop Directly Through Our Website

DISTRYB is committed to making the purchasing process as smooth and accessible as possible for our customers. Illinois liquor license holders can conveniently order directly from our website, providing easy access to our inventory without the hassle. Whether you’re a bar owner, restaurant manager, or retailer, we’re here to meet your needs with prompt delivery and dedicated support.

Our Commitment to Sustainable Distribution

Sustainability is one of our core values at DISTRYB. We’re proud to utilize electric delivery trucks from Rivian to reduce our carbon footprint and bring a greener approach to liquor distribution in Illinois. Through this commitment, we’re not only helping Black-owned brands thrive but also contributing positively to our environment.

As we expand our inventory and continue adding top-tier Black-owned brands, we’re excited to grow with our community and build lasting partnerships throughout Illinois. This is just the beginning, and we can’t wait for you to be a part of it.
