Gordon Green says the beverage industry is in his blood. Check his veins and one might find Gallo wine, Pepsi, Coke, Arizona tea, Miller-Coors, a 3.2 percent craft beer or a stronger brew. Green's nearly quarter-century career in the beverage industry has had him representing all of the above — and more.

For the past decade, the Illinois native has served as general manager/partner of Capital Distributing LLC. The company, formed in April 2001 with the merger of Beverage (Miller) and Coors Distributing Co., employs 170 and — with its affiliates and tenants, 6 Point Beverages and Oklahoma Beer Imports, in its 156,000-square-foot facility at 421 N Portland — does more than $80 million in annual revenues.

Capital, Green said, is the registered distributor for several brands, including 3.2 percent Coors-Miller beer, in eight counties: Oklahoma, Canadian, Logan, Lincoln, Grady, Cleveland, McClain and Pottawatomie.

“It's all about growing and building brands,” he said. “It's fast-paced and extremely competitive.”
