Brewers Outlet

There is no reason for you to be buying your beer anywhere else if you are within 25 miles of this place. Prices are great, selection is ridiculous and the icing on the cake… FREE PINT GLASSES!

We own a restaurant in the area and always call these guys when we’re in a pinch and run out of a beer before we can get another order in. We only carry craft and it’s so rare that they don’t have what we need. Their craft beer selection is second to none. Their staff is friendly and knowledgable and they deliver quick!

For some reason I was thinking that they also sold brewing supplies (maybe I was confusing with something else), but a beer distributor (thank you PA). Had a pretty good selection, but feels like you’re shopping in a cold airplane hangar. Prices are a little higher, but not too bad and they had all of the usual suspects in terms of beers. Parking lot is kind of awkward but overall would swing by here if I lived in the area and needed something…

I absolutely love this place! I was there for the free beer tasting last Saturday. They were featuring Kona Brewing Company.
The staff was super friendly and made me feel comfortable.
The layout of the store is easy to understand for a very big store.
The prices for craft beer and imports are very reasonable compared to other stores. The selection is very impressive. If you come here, you will find it all. It really is a complete beverage store. They sell water, soda and other items at great prices.
It is a not to miss experience.

Best beer distributor in the area!
Pretty much have anything you may be looking for. If they dont have it, chances are, no one does.
Remember this is a PA Beer Distributor, so we are talking cases only, People.

This place is a wonderful haven of delicious beer. They have an impressive variety of typical and boring options, and unusual and less known options, too. Both times I’ve been there, the staff was very kind. I suppose working at a beer store would lead to a lifetime of happiness.

It’s my least favorite time of the year: Football season. It’s when my man says he’ll kick this habit of ingesting football all the time but that is a big fat lie meant to keep me hopeful. I miss the days of when we were first dating during football season and he would keep that side of him hidden like it didn’t exist. Now he checks/​reads/​watches football godknowswhat first thing in the AM and then he spends 10 hours watching football on Sunday — sprawled happily out on the couch. It makes me want to do something cliché like rock a marathon of Project Runway while drinking pink martinis but I’m pretty sure he’d sulk worse than me if I changed the channel.
So yeah, we stopped by this Brewers Outlet because beer and football go hand in hand. God Bless Ammmurrica. I was happy to see they have a refrigerated room in the back corner so you could grab your standard beers (Buds, Coors, Corona, Yuengling, Miller etc) if you needed to bring beer cold to your football watching party (sigh). I wish they would throw some seasonal beers in there as well so I could show up with something more interesting.
Oh and I was happy to see my favorite beer, Mad Elf, stocked and ready to go.
Only downside is that it’s not really a «deal» to buy a case of beer here. We got two cases– a Mad Elf and a Pumpkin Ale which cost us a Benjamin Franklin and a Jackson. But I need to nurse my Mad Elf while I watch Eli Manning act surprised when his passes get intercepted. That guy can ACT. Stage left: Enter me trying to feign like the laid back girl who likes to watch more than one game of football IN A ROW. Thank God for Fantasy Football, keeping me somewhat interested. Cheers!

Pretty sweet place and does the trick. I’m new to Philly so I’m still adjusting to the beer/​alcohol laws. A little more costly than what I’m used to in California, but it’s fine. It’s basically a small warehouse full of beer. It was kind of warm in there when I went so I didn’t really want to stay in there and peruse. I don’t remember any of the beers being refrigerated except for possibly a walk-​in fridge for kegs so make sure to plan for that. There was only one checker open and there was a line, but people were patient. They take credit card. Everything was really convenient. There’s a parking lot with plenty of parking. The only carts I saw were like the ones at Costco for larger loads so if you’re planning for just a few cases, I’d recommend coming with a buddy to help you carry some things. They also have chips and other munchies but not a huge selection.

As far as PA beer distributors go, this place is great. Prices are a little high, but since they have great selection and there’s not a lot of other distributors around, I’ll accept it. I love the craft beer exchange at the checkout. You can swap out one craft beer from your case for one from the shelf. Nice way to try a new beer without buying a whole case.

If I could booze around my parents I’d probably be here way more often than my wallet could handle.
The selection is fantastic, though I’ve seen cheaper prices in the burbs. I don’t know if it’s because its the go to spot in Mt. Airy/​Chestnut Hill, so they can bump up prices without repercussions or something else. But since it’s probably saving gas money in the long run, I suppose it balances out.
They also have wine tasting events every week and really make it a community endeavor. But I wish I could get a six pack from here. Luckily there’s a diner down the street…
Pretty solid overall.

Definitely the best selection of beer you are going to find in Northwest Philly. The staff is knowledgeable and can help you navigate the sometimes overwhelming number of options. Brewers carries way more craft and local beers than any of the other distributors in the area.
I’ve never been able to make it, but apparently they offer a pretty awesome tasting session on Saturday afternoons. They also have a selection of loose bottles on a shelf by the checkout where you can swap out one of the beers in your case to try something new.
I would give them 5 stars, but I had to knock it down to 4 since the last time I was there they were out of my top 3 choices (Southern Tier Pumpkin Ale, Southern Tier Variety Pack, and Yards Cape of Good Hope). I shouldn’t really complain though because this is the only spot in the area that I know of where I would even have a shot of finding one of the above.

Super friendly staff and a great selection of beer. They only sell wholesale so don’t bother going in if you just want a cold six pack.

This place makes it hard for me to go away on weekends because of their free beer tastings.
Great selection, great prices (the lowest I’ve seen around), friendly staff, and occasional contests. Even won one once.

My local beer distributor as well, and I love this place. First off, free beer tastings every Saturday. Friendly staff. Huge selection, and very competitive prices. They will also order whatever you want. Many choices in terms of mixed cases, local, imports, regional favorites, and lots of Belgian style beers.

This is the best beer distributor out of the ones I’ve hit in the ‘burbs. I grew up going to Madonna’s on Easton Road, but because it’s a drive-​through, you’ve got to know what you want when you reach the window. Frosty Caps on 611 comes complete with a guy who looks like John Travolta, but mainly services the Miller Light crowd.
Brewer’s Outlet is one-​stop shopping for beer, cider, and the Vintage seltzer that I love. I wish I could afford to buy an entire case of the Allagash Tripel ($ 74), but I’ll have to stick to drinking it by the glass at Memphis Taproom. I can’t confirm that they’re over-​priced on some goods because I rarely find the brews I like at other distributors. Most people’s reaction to my query about Samuel Smith’s Organic Cider is «huh?» A major boon is their swap policy. Buying a case of something from a microbrewery? Want to try a bottle of that local _​_​_​_​before buying the whole case? Swap a bottle of yours for a bottle of theirs! Again, it’s also convenient to be able to pick up bottled water and the like at the same spot. I’ve also never gotten those stares male employees sometimes give women that say «You’re picking out the beer? That party’s going to suck.» The employees are helpful without any hints of snobbery. FYI: I’m listing this place as «pricey» because the beverages I like don’t tend to come cheap.

The major plus of Brewer’s Outlet is that it’s within walking distance for me. I’ve usually found the employees to be pretty friendly too.
The only thing I don’t like is that their prices aren’t too hot. They’re not outrageous but unless I’m feeling lazy or I just want a case of lager it’s not my go-​to beer place. They want $ 40 for a case of Buffalo Bill’s oatmeal stout that I’ve seen for $ 33 elsewhere (in-​state) and their price for lager is a few bucks more than a lot of places.
It’s a good place, good selection and pretty convenient. Just not the cheapest.
