Where to Buy Beer Online
By John on August 27, 2008 @ 6 PM (41 Comments)
There’s a great article by our beer pal Eli Shayotovich at the Southern Colorado Beer Examiner on the top places to buy beer online. This is a great tool for any of you who have a poor beer selection where you are or if you just want to find some good stuff that’s maybe not distributed to your area.
The BeerFathers’ personal favorite? Check out the BelgianShop where you can get some great Trappist Belgian beers and the appropriate glassware to fully enjoy it like it was meant to be enjoyed. Their selection is mind blowing – you can even find the rare Westvleteren Abt 12, as well as stuff from Rochefort, St. Bernardus, Abbaye des Rocs, Hoegaardens you won’t find in the US, Belgian cheeses and a lot more. They actually ship from Belgium though, so your shipping and handling may be a tiny bit more than a standard order from say, Amazon.com.
For those wanting to buy domestically, I really liked the look of Sam’s Wine, which is an Illinois based outfit (Update: January 27, 2010 – Binny’s Beverage Depot has bought out Sam’s Wine – so now the web site as at Binnys.com – here’s the direct link to the beer section where you can get some beer, but not all beer shipped to you).
Check out the full story on the Top 10 online beer buying sites and don’t come crying to us when you drop hundreds of dollars on your beer orders, because, well, we’ve done the same thing.
And check out my pal Eli online as well at his Confessions of a Beer Geek site.

Im looking to buy plain miller beer. where can i get it?
Diane – Plain Miller Beer was a short lived experiment by Miller in the late 90’s – it went from about 1996 to 1998. Failed miserably. You can no longer by just plain Miller like you can plain Budweiser or plain Coors.
I’m looking to purchase the entire collection of Fuller’s vintage ales beginning from 1997 to current. I can’t seem to find them at all and I can’t seem to find any sort of online auction or warehouse. Any help would be greatly appreciated. my e-mail is burnzee_stephen@yahoo.com, thanks!
I am looking to buy Iron City Golden tall cans for the SuperBowl. Any ideas wher to find?
Iron City’s site offers a beer finder at this page that may help you out: http://www.ironcitybrewingcompany.com/tabid/68/Default.aspx
Im looking for Pabst Blue Ribbon Light. I can get PBR regular, but they stopped selling the light. Looking for an online source that can ship to Tennessee.
Thanks
It looks like Sam’s Wine online has PBR light in cans/bottles – may be on backorder though it says. http://www.samswine.com/on/demandware.store/Sites-SamsWine-Site/default/Search-Show?q=pabst&=x
Anyone know where I can buy Leon Negra in the US?
Dan – from what I’ve seen Leon Negra is usually only available in Yucatan down in Mexico. I haven’t seen any of the online shops carrying it. Their Negra Modelo, Modelo, Corona and Pacifico Clara is pretty much all I see them shipping up into the states. Anyone else here know of any place to find the Leon Negra?
Hope someone can help, I’m looking for Tuborg Gold. They sell it in Canada, and I live in California. Thanks, John
John – Tuborg Gold is made by Carlsberg over in Denmark – it’s sold in the US under the name Tuborg Premium Lager. I see you can order their cans online from John’s Grocery in Iowa:

Or at the Beer Store in Australia:
http://www.beerstore.com.au/detail.asp?beerID=267
Well I called Johns grocery for Tuborg premium lager and they no longer carry it……. any other ideas? Now I’m on a mission to find it, without flying to Denmark. Thanks
John – all the other places I find online are overseas, like the other link I posted to the Australian site. You may try contacting Tuborg directly through the contact form on their site – they may be able to point you to some US distribution:

Good luck in your beer quest!
Where can I buy Frankenmuth Dark online or by New York City?
Sorry Mark, but the Frankenmuth Brewery went out of business. From what I can see they went out of business around the end of 2006.
See here:
http://www.ratebeer.com/brewers/frankenmuth-brewery/3660/
And their old web site:
http://www.frankenmuthbrewery.com
Which says “The Frankenmuth Brewery will be closed from November 5th, 2006 for a period of 8 to 10 weeks.” It’s now 2009 and they still have that message, which means they likely are closed for good. Sorry man!
looking for Kona Pipeline Porter. the only site i found is hi-time wine cellars and the shipping is pricey. any help?
I’m looking for Old Style in the Chicago Cubs bottles (with the ivy that changes with the beer temp). Any one know how I can purchase it?
Pete – the only place I’ve seen the Old Style bottles is eBay, but they’re being sold as empties. Link to an auction/buy it now here:

I’m sure you’ve seen that too – I’ve not found any resources for getting these bottles full, but it seems like the value is in the bottles more than the content of the bottles. Good luck!

I am looking for Two Dogs Lemon Brew Beer. I can not find it anywhere. I have tried to have it ordered to local liquor stores but they are unable in Oklahoma. I have bought it in Texas. Please let me know lilmama110@hotmail.com
Does anyone know of a website where I could buy BeerTender (DraughtKeg) minikegs? Currently, they only sell Heineken/Heineken Light where I live. I know in other places in the U.S. they sell New Castle in this type of mini keg, and many other brands such as Amstel and Murphy’s Irish Red are available in Europe.
If anyone knew of a site online where I could order any of these, I would be forever grateful.
Randy – you can get Lone Star beer online from Biggie Liquor. This should link directly to the Lone Star page:
http://biggieliquors.com/product_detail.asp?id=9491
I WANT TO KNOW WHERE WE CAN PICK UP SOME SIMPATICO BEER-I LIVE IN SO. CAL. AND HAVEN’T FOUND IT HERE BUT AM STILL SEARCHING-THANKS
Larry – I’m not quite sure where to get it in Southern California. A few options though:
Email them at info@simpaticobeer.com and see if they can help you locate a distributor.
Direct message them on Twitter – http://twitter.com/simpaticobeer
I found one post from someone online who said that Tesco sold it – I’m guessing they meant Tesco Fresh & Easy Neighborhood Market, which is in Southern California. You can find one near you and visit to see if they do carry it: http://www.freshandeasy.com/WhereWeAre.aspx
Good luck finding it!
Does anyone know a website that sells Sol 40 oz. and ships to canada?
