Caffey Distributing

Raising a glass to Andrew Gates as we celebrate his 2-year anniversary with Caffey Distributing! 🍻

Over the past two years, Andrew first started as one of our Sales Relief for C-Stores and On-Premise. Andrew quickly advanced to a On-Premise Sales Rep position. He has shown an incredible knack for building strong relationships, sharing their passion for great brews, and delivering results that truly make a difference.
From navigating the ever-changing world of beer sales to connecting customers with their favorite brands, Andrew brings energy, expertise, and enthusiasm to every challenge.

In Andrew’s free time, he enjoys spending time with his family, playing golf and watching anything college sports.

We’re so grateful for your hard work, dedication, and positive attitude, and we can’t wait to see what the future holds for you. Here’s to more milestones, more success, and, of course, more amazing beer! Cheers to you, Gates! 🍻

Celebrating 1 Year of Relief and Excellence!
It’s been one year since Matthew Haney joined us as a Sales Relief team member, and what a year it’s been! Whether it’s juggling schedules, solving last-minute challenges, or always showing up with a can-do attitude, Matthew makes it look easy (even though we know it’s not)!

In Matthew’s free time he enjoys spending time with his 2 daughters and of course cracking a cold Miller Lite at the end of any day that ends with Y and spending time with his friends at his local hole in the wall Freddies! 🍻

Here’s to many more years of dedication, teamwork, and maybe a little less lifting. Congratulations, Matthew!

Congratulations to Jacob and his 4 incredible years as a Sales Representative with us! From building strong relationships to delivering outstanding results, Jacob has been a driving force in our team’s success.

In Jacob’s free time he loves spending time with his wife Kayla, 2 year old son Knox and all their fur babies! You can also catch him cooking on the grill and cracking cold one when he gets the chance! 🍻

Here’s to his hard work, dedication, and the many wins still to come. Cheers to you, Jacob! 🍻

Excited to share that we’re partnering with Carolina Premium Beverage this year to tackle hunger in our local communities! Our ambitious goal is to donate 150,000 lbs of food to the Second Harvest Food Bank Organization.

So far, our team has collected 48,636 lbs, and we’re just getting started! You can help us reach our goal by donating through the Second Harvest Food Bank website (select team Carolina Premium Beverage) or by dropping off canned goods at our facility.

Together, we can make a real difference for those in need!

Congratulations to Donald Tussey for 3 years of dedication and hard work!

Tussey started with us 3 years ago as one of our Merchandisers. He was promoted to Merchandiser Supervisor!

In Tussey’s free time he likes to spend time with his family, and also does astrophotography when weather is clear! (He captured the picture below of Caffey.)

As our Merchandiser Supervisor, you’ve ensured every product is perfectly placed, every display shines, and our customers always find what they need. Your eye for detail and leadership have made all the difference. Here’s to many more successful years ahead! 🍻

Cheers to Michael Sutton on 3 amazing years of keeping the good times rolling in our Delivery Department! From early mornings to late nights, you’ve made sure every delivery lands right on time. Michael was also driver of the year in 2022 and 2023! Your hard work, dedication, and ability to navigate any route have made all the difference.

In Michael’s free time, he loves spending time with his fiancé and son! He loves to travel places that have a historical story to tell and spends a lot of time at the mountains! And of course enjoys cracking a cold one. 🍻

Thank you again Michael, for your dedication and hard work over the past 3 years. Here’s to many more years of smooth deliveries and cold brews! 🍻

Congratulations to JT for 10 years with Caffey Distributing!

From the beginning, JT has been a key player in our warehouse operations. He started as one of our order selectors and was promoted to Forklift Operator, which led him to his current role as our 1st shift warehouse Supervisor. Ensuring everything runs smoothly and efficiently day in and day out.

Beyond numbers and deadlines, it’s the way JT builds relationships with the team, brings energy and positivity to the workplace and consistently goes above and beyond. It’s no exaggeration that our warehouse wouldn’t be the same without JT’s influence and hard work!

In JT’s free time he loves to play the guitar, bass, and drums! He enjoys spending time with his daughter and son, and of course cracking a cold one when he gets the chance.

Thank you again JT for your remarkable contribution over the past 10 years. Here is to the next decade of continued success, growth and shared accomplishments! Cheers to you, JT! 🍻

Today, we celebrate not just a milestone, but a legacy-39 years of unwavering commitment and passion with TJ McQuade!

TJ started his journey with us 39 years ago in our On Premise department when our drivers sold and delivered kegs! He then became OP Manager which led him into Large Format and C Store Sales Rep. This prepared him for his role now as our Large Format Division Sales Manager!

From closing deals to mentoring the next generation, you’ve shown us how it’s done- with a smile, a laugh and the occasional “Back in my day…” story! Thanks for nearly four decades of achievements, epic leadership and proving that age is just a number (but experience is everything!)

In TJ’s free time he loves to spend time with his family, hang out at their beach house in Cherry Grove, play golf and of course crack a cold one when he can! 🍻

Thank you again TJ for every challenge you’ve helped us overcome, every success we’ve celebrated together and for always leading with your heart. Here’s to 39 years of making a difference, and to the many more memories (and beer) we’ll share together in the future!

Happy 12th work anniversary to our amazing Assistant Controller, Sandy Pope!

Sandy started her journey with us 12 years ago in our AP department then to AR, where she advanced as our Accounting Manager which led to her current role as our Assistant Controller.

From balancing the books to keeping us all in check, Sandy has been the financial rock star of our team. Her dedication, precision, and humor make every day a little brighter (and our numbers a lot more accurate)!

In Sandy’s free time currently, she loves to hang with her pups and family! She not only manages our finances flawlessly, but she is also planning her wedding in her free time as well! 💍

Here’s to the countless spreadsheets, the endless coffee, and your unwavering commitment. Thank you for making 12 years feel like a breeze and for always being a smiling face at Caffey Distributing.

Cheers to many more years of success, beers, laughter, and a fabulous wedding ahead! 🍻

Today, we raise our glasses to celebrate Jake Lee’s 3 years with Caffey Distributing.

Jake started here as a selector 3 years ago and then was promoted to Warehouse Supervisor, which led him to the position he holds now, as one of our Delivery drivers.

From navigating tight corners to dodging traffic jams, Jake has faced every challenge with a smile. Rain or shine, early mornings, late evenings, he ensured that the beer arrives fresh and on time, making Jake the true MVP of every happy hour and weekend barbecue in his market.

In Jake’s free time, he loves to spend time with his two sons, play golf, be at the beach when he’s able, and we can’t forget he’s a ping pong champion!

Cheers to Jake for 3 years of amazing deliveries, countless smiles, and being the life of the (beer) party. We’re lucky to have you on our team and can’t wait to toast to many more years of great times and cold beers together! 🍻

Today, we honor an incredible milestone as we celebrate Darin Whitaker’s 30-year work anniversary! For three decades, Darin has been the superhero of our operations, saving us from chaos, and leading us to greatness!

During the past 30 years, Darin has worn many hats since starting his journey here. Darin made his first footprint here as one of our truck drivers, quickly moved to swing sales, advanced into Key Accounts Manager then to DSM for our On-Premise Team, to Craft Brand Manager, to Business Manager for our Fresh Tap department which has prepared him to be a key player on our team as our Operations Manager.

From navigating countless challenges with grace to celebrating every victory with us. Darin’s journey has been nothing short of legendary. His wit, wisdom, and wonderful sense of humor have brightened our days. (most of the time 😉)

In Darin’s free time, he loves to spend time with his family and crack a cold one when he gets the chance!

Again, we honor not just for the years, but the countless moments that have made these 30 years memorable. We thank you, Darin, for your loyalty, your hard work, and your friendship. Here’s to you and the incredible legacy you continue to build.

Cheers to you! 🍻
