Our Story
At Katcef Nation, we are challenged to develop and manage an ever-expanding portfolio that meets the changing consumer taste differences.
Katcef Brothers was founded in 1933 – the same year as the repeal of prohibition – by Samuel J. Katcef. The original Katcef Brothers warehouse was located on the site that today is Gott’s Garage in downtown Annapolis. In 1952, the company moved to Parole where Katcef Brothers remained until 1979 when the company moved to its present location on Defense Highway. Katcef Brothers is one of the three Katcef Family Companies that market beers from around the world in Anne Arundel, Howard, Montgomery Counties in Maryland and in Washington, DC. For over 80 years Katcef Brothers has supported the Anheuser-Busch ‘Better World’ Mission to promote corporate social responsibility, preserve the environment and make a difference in the communities where we live and work.
With the emergence of consumers searching for more unique and high quality beverage products, we see a great opportunity to grow volume while enhancing the image of the beverage category overall. After all, beer isn’t the only alcoholic beverage of choice to the American consumer.
