Eagle Distributing Co. is a wholesale beer distributor based in Knoxville, Tennessee. Its history is tied to the post-Prohibition period of Anheuser-Busch product distribution in Eastern Tennessee, culminating in the company adopting its current name in 1983 after Raymond D. Hand purchased the business. The operation occupies a warehouse facility built in 1958 by the preceding Tipton Distributing Company, which remains the home of Eagle Distributing's operations. The leadership is centered on Ray Hand, who has long-standing involvement in the regional malt beverage industry. Historically, Budweiser and other Anheuser-Busch products were distributed in the region by multiple entities, and Eagle Distributing became its own identifiable distributor in 1983. Located in Knoxville, the company functions as a mid-sized regional wholesale distributor serving Eastern Tennessee from its established base.
