Live Oak Brewing Company Partners with Capital Reyes Distributing, LLC

Austin, TX (April 2025) – After nearly 28 years of successfully self-distributing its craft beer, Live Oak Brewing Company, a beloved local brewery in Austin, is excited to announce a new distribution partnership with Capital Reyes Distributing, LLC, a leading distributor in the region and a subsidiary of Reyes Beverage Group. This collaboration marks an exciting new chapter for Live Oak Brewing as it expands its reach to even more beer enthusiasts in Austin and the surrounding areas.

Since its founding in 1997, Live Oak Brewing Company has been dedicated to producing high-quality, traditional European-style beers. The brewery has gained a loyal following over the years by embracing its roots in the community and keeping its distribution in-house. Now, with Capital Reyes Distributing handling its distribution, Live Oak is poised for significant growth, bringing its exceptional brews to new venues and reaching an even wider fan base.

“We’ve built Live Oak Brewing Company from the ground up with a deep commitment to quality and community,” said Chip McElroy, Founder of Live Oak Brewing Company. “This partnership with Capital Reyes Distributing will allow us to share our beers with more people while maintaining the personal touch we’re known for. We are thrilled to work with such a trusted distributor who shares our passion for local craft beer.”

With Capital Reyes Distributing’s expertise and extensive network, Live Oak’s flagship beers, such as their award-winning Hefeweizen, Pilz, and seasonal offerings, will be available in even more locations.

The partnership also represents a shift for Live Oak Brewing, who for almost three decades has prided itself on self-distribution. The brewery will continue to maintain strong ties with its local customers while benefiting from the added resources and logistical support provided by Capital Reyes Distributing.
