Congratulations to PBA member Durdach Bros., Inc. on celebrating their 85th anniversary this year! Cheers!

Durdach Bros. was started in 1938 by brothers John and Jacob Durdach. Their father Paul Durdach had been in the tavern business prior to. The business was started in Shamokin and later moved to Paxinos in 1965. That same year they incorporated, and the INC. was added to the name.

In 1966 Jacob died and John took over the ownership of the Company until his death. John’s son Richard, then a third generation in the beer business, took over the ownership of the Company and is its current CEO. In 1987 the company added Coors and Corona to its portfolio of Labatt’s and Genesee. In 1990 the company became a wholesaler for Yuengling.

With the 1997 purchase of an adjacent Coors Wholesaler located in Williamsport, their market coverage expanded from 6 to 11 full counties. In 2009 Durdach Bros., In. purchased the Miller franchise for 6 of those counties and 2 years later was able to purchase the Coors franchise for Schuylkill county to consolidate the MillerCoors brands in the lower 6 counties. Along with the Coors came additional brands such as Sam Adams, Guinness and later brand Heineken. Along with a variety of Top Selling Craft Brands such as Troegs, Appalachian, Victory came the addition of Bell’s, New Belgium, Lagunitas, Yards and Great Lakes expanding the distribution to 14 counties. Durdach Bros., Inc. currently employs 75 full time people with additional seasonal employees.

The Company received the MolsonCoors President’s Award in 2013 and MC’s Distributor Excellence award in 2022. It supports the local economy and various charities. It has raised over $200,000 for St. Jude and over $100,000 for Cystic Fibrosis along with contributions to the American Cancer Society and the Wounded Warriors. Durdach Bros., Inc. is very proud to be celebrating our 85th Anniversary in 2023.

Every April 7th is National Beer Day, a time where we can raise a toast to the oldest of all beverages.

People have been making beer for over 5,000 years; in fact, the oldest recorded recipe we know of is for beer. National Beer Day celebrates the day in 1933 that the Cullen-Harrison act was signed into law, reversing the prohibition on selling beer in the United States.

What will you be drinking to celebrate National Beer Day? Cheers! 🍻
