Gulf Distributing of Mobile is our flagship distribution company, founded in 1973 by Freida G. Maisel, who is widely recognized by the beer industry and the Alabama legislature as the first woman to own a beer distribution business outright, not by inheritance.
Back in 1973, gas was 39 cents per gallon and a six-pack would cost you $2.11. It was also the year that Freida G. Maisel left her tenure as a middle school English teacher and purchased a struggling beer distributorship. And with that, Gulf Distributing Company was founded in Mobile, Alabama.
