The Long Drink: Finland’s Best-Kept Secret.

In Finland, the Long Drink is a national tradition. They've been mixing gin and grapefruit soda since the 1952 Helsinki Olympics.

Now it's one of the fastest-growing RTD brands in the U.S. — and we're the ones bringing it to mid-Michigan. 🇫🇮🍹

America’s Oldest Brewery comes to JPO

Yuengling has been brewing b**r since 1829. That makes them older than most U.S. states.

When America's oldest brewery chose to expand into Michigan, we were proud to be part of bringing that legacy to our customers across mid-Michigan and the Thumb.

Some brands you carry. Others you're honored to represent.

Building a Portfolio of Brands that meets our Consumers Tastes.

The Oak Distributing acquisition brought us new brands in categories we hadn’t sold before. We didn’t shrink from that opportunity- we embraced it and continued to evolve our portfolio in the years to come. Today, our portfolio spans over 100 brands, including Michigan craft, national craft, ciders, seltzers, and spirits-based RTDs.

From Stroh's to small-batch IPAs. White Claw to Surfside and beyond. That's 50 years of keeping up with what drinkers actually want.
