Chicago native Larry Gary settled in Hastings, MI, where he owned and operated a bowling alley. In 1963, Larry and his wife, Joan, moved to the Grand Rapids area, where Larry founded Kent Beverage. Detroit native Tim Sullivan, along with his brother Mike, founded Sullivan Brothers Construction. Seeing his friends thrive in the beer distribution business, Tim purchased Grand Rapids’ B&B Beer in 1977.

Both companies grew and flourished, passing from one generation to the next. In 2013, Kent Beverage and B&B Beer merged, forming Alliance Beverage—a company committed to being the “Preferred Distributor” for everyone it interacts with. Today, Alliance Beverage is a team of over 550 employees, proudly serving more than 6,000 customers across Western Michigan with three distribution centers and six sales offices.

We prioritize recruiting top talent and upholding the highest standards of integrity, teamwork, and respect, aiming to enrich the lives of associates, customers, suppliers, and the community.
