Online Beer Store: Liquid Solutions

If you live in Pennsylvania like me, or there simply are not any good beer stores close to you, you may want to look into an online store. One such store is Liquid Solutions, which has a good albeit expensive selection. The major price killer is the shipping, so it is best to order in large quantities. When I was writing this post shipping doubled the cost and there were over 650 beers in stock.

Beer Store: Ron's Schoolhouse

This is basically a restaurant that sells 2 refrigerators full of microbrews and imports. The good thing is that you can make your own six pack of beer here from the singles. They change their stocks all the time, but the prices are always expensive. The cheapest shelf is $2.50 a bottle. When you buy a create your own six pack you either get a free gift basket with 2 Ron's Schoolhouse glasses, or you recieve $0.75 off each bottle that you purchase.

Beer Store: Beer Yard

The Beer Yard is a great place to buy beer in the Philadelphia suburbs. The Pennsylvania beer law forces them to sell in cases. What makes this worse is that there may be 10 different types of beer stacked on top of the 1 type that you want. Their prices are very competitive and the staff was quite helpful. Located behind the starbucks in Wayne on Rt 30(Lancaster Ave). Their website is excellent and lists all of the beer they may or may not have in stock. The also have 3 taps at the register where the may offer you a tasting.

Beer Store: The Foodery

So Pennsylvania has this beer law which says:

No distributor or importing distributor shall sell any malt or brewed beverages in quantities of less than a case or original containers containing one hundred twenty-eight ounces or more which may be sold separately: Provided, That no malt or brewed beverages sold or delivered shall be consumed upon the premises of the distributor or importing distributor, or in any place provided for such purpose by such distributor or importing distributor.

This is what makes The Foodery so unique in Pennsylvania. Somehow they manage to get around this law and are able to sell single beers. They have 2 locations in Philadelphia. The one on 10th and Pine Street has about 10 refrigerators full of singles. They had most of what I was looking for and a lot of new stuff that I wanted to try. The prices for the beer is listed in one big book. They claim that if you make your own six pack, you receive a 10% discount but I received no such discount on my visit.

The 10th and Pine location can make for a tough time parking, but it is only a few blocks away(7 minute walk) from the Market East train station. The other location is on 2nd and Poplar.
