In 1976, the United States was celebrating its bicentennial, the National Basketball Association and the American Basketball Association agreed to a merger, and the CN Tower was built in Toronto, making it the tallest free-standing land structure at the time. The year also was the founding of Dallas-based Andrews Distributing Co.
With seven facilities covering the Dallas-Fort Worth and greater Corpus Christi area, Andrews Distributing has come a long way since its operations only handled Miller Brewing Co. products. Now, the beer wholesaler has a portfolio of 37 brewers and more than 300 brands.
