West Side Beer Distributing is a family-owned, community-centered company comprised of individuals who love selling beer. The story of West Side Beer Distributing began in 1965 in Dearborn, Michigan when Don Klopcic Sr. started a three-truck wholesale beer operation named Don Lee Distributor, Inc. Throughout the years, Don Lee succeeded by evolving in order to meet changing customer needs. In 1981, the company began a new era when the Klopcic family purchased West Side Beer Distributing in Grand Rapids, Michigan. West Side Beer Distributing now has four branches located in Grand Rapids, Kalamazoo, Lansing, and Romulus, servicing approximately 4,000 retailers located in 14 counties.
