What is the Three-Tier System?

The Three-Tier System is the way consumers are able to purchase a wide variety of beer and alcoholic beverages safely and effectively. Our videos help explain how the system works, and why it benefits the Commonwealth.

Vision, Mission & Principles

We’re the leading voice for the Commonwealth’s independent, family-owned beer and beverage distributors.

Learning from History

While Prohibition was a failure, the idea of control was not – and today ensures a free market, choice, and safety.

Protecting Consumer Choice

We protect consumer choice by upholding the values of the Three Tier System and lobbying on behalf of our members.

Legislative & Regulatory

Members stick with VBWA for the latest news and developments from the Virginia ABC and General Assembly.
