“HUGE selection. Friendly owners- yogi is super funny and his wife is super sweet.
The prices are great.
Definitely a lucky spot if you’re into skills !
Would recommend to any of my friends looking for a local beer distributor.”
“Amazing Birch and Root Beer, as well as many other flavored carbonated beverages, including botanical offerings. Also, all the beer and wine making supplies you would need, and local artist gifts in their awesome gift shop to boot.”
“Great selection and if they don't have the beverage of your choice, ask them if they could possibly order that in the future. The owner is so friendly and always smiling.”
“I recently moved to the area and have stopped by South Mountain Beer Distributing twice now. The staff couldn’t be nicer—they treat every customer like an old friend they’ve known forever. Warm greetings, genuine conversation, and helpful recommendations make you feel right at home from the moment you walk in.
As someone new here, their kindness really stood out. Great selection and even better service.”
“I love this place. The staff is super friendly and helpful. They have a huge variety of drinks. Their prices are unbeatable and the sloshies are the bomb. They have a 10 minutes parking area which is very convenient. I recommend this place.”
“Located in a Weis grocery store in Reading, Pa. Nice selection of wine, beer & pre-mixed cocktails. They card everyone by scanning back of license. Unlike Delaware.”
“I can get beer delivered for less than if I picked up at my local shop. Not only that, but the delivery is right on time. I used to work in Reading and shop here. Always great service. Plus this location is iconic. The owner has meticulously maintained the building. Do any of the old timers remember the “Flatiron”? That space was rolled into the distributor and that block is an addition to the neighborhood.”
“Stopped by to check it out, great selection but the friendliness of the staff is what sold me on the place. Knowledgeable and so helpful, will definitely be returning.”
“Coldest beer around!!! Bob is our favorite beer guy mostly for the way he feels like part of the family! Every visit it's so great to be greeted by him and he is always so helpful ~~~thanks, Bob! I really enjoy the special homemade treats by his wife too! I am so happy he's so close to home but I'd travel across town for his ice cold beer and smile! See you soon and often...Go Birds”
“A great selection of beers and staff is very helpful.I highly recommend this place for all your tailgating parties and check out their awesome vintage beer can collection!”
“This is the only place I go to get my alcohol in the area. The prices are good and the staff is wonderful, which is what keeps me coming back. I’m always greeted when I walk in, no matter who is working, and they always ask if I need help finding anything. Excellent customer service!”
“Pretty much all Fine Wine & Good Spirits stores are alike with the exception of staff. This particular store it seems like the staff is knowledgeable about their products and all were very friendly and helpful when it comes to the amount of Spirits sold. I'm in no way a spirits connoisseur on, so if I'm looking for something to pair a wine with or to match my preferred taste to find something different, I'll need to rely on the staff for direction which they have done in past to my satisfaction, plus they actually have a wine tasting bar but I think it's only during specific hours. I don't have details but it's available.”
“Ziggy is awesome. Love his kisses. Nicest people i have come across in retail since i have been here in PA. Always have a case of Michelob cold in the cooler for us. Is the only distributor we can find real Michelob. Not the ultra. I mean real Michelob! Of course i will take time to review. Shub be 10 stars.”
“This store has the most pleasant employees! They are always more than willing to help with anything, and they seem delighted to help even non-customers obtain and even load empty boxes into a car. Thanks so much!”
“The owner is a great guy. Very knowledgeable and a pleasure to talk to. They may not always have exactly what I'm looking for but I can always walk away with something.”
“My favorite beer store. GREAT selection and SUPERB customer service. I travel from Lancaster County to Berks County for my beer because of their selection of craft beer.”
“1st time here, visiting from Charlotte, and was very impressed with the store. The staff were very friendly and helpful, and I was even able to find a good bottle of allocated bourbon.”
“Great prices, nice and clean,also have good choices of beverages, nice and cold and they have warm cases too. Outstanding customer service, always helpful and courteous, quick service too. I give this place 5 ⭐'s”
“10/10 Beer. The greatest beer store in berks county, neigh, the continental United States of America. Owned and operated by quite possible the most amazing people in the history of the world, neigh, the universe. 🍻🍺🍻”
“We moved to the Denver PA area in 2019. We visited Denver Beer Distributor yesterday, June 10th, 2020. We were very impressed with the store and the employees and their courteous service. Thank you so much for displaying the sign that customers should wear masks during the Covid-19 pandemic. Also, a big thank you for the employees that are interacting with customers wearing masks also. We, of course, war masks also. We inquired about a craft beer, which they didn't have, but after discussing it with the courteous, knowledgeable ,young man employee, we ended up buying a different craft beer. The parking lot is convenient, the store is laid out nicely with plenty of room to enter and walk through the store, even during these times of required social distancing. The service was great. We will be back!”
“Always have exactly what I want wherever i go there. The shelves are always nicely organized and no matter the staff (there seems to be a new person each time I go there that I've never seen before; I believe they may rotate certain employees between a number of local stores,) they are always pleasant and helpful if needed. Since they have a self checking lotto machine, they automatically get a few more kudos as well bc they become a one stop shop for me. During the "curbside pick up only" timeframe they were even organized by giving me exactly what I reserved via phone. Getting through to put an order in was a bit mundane but that was certainly nothing they could control. They are close to my residence so as long as they continue as they have, I'll choose to go to this location whenever I'm in need/desire of visiting a FWGS store.”
“Ended up here after first walking into the liquor store at the other end of the strip mall which only had wine and liquor...plenty of selection here and the guy working (Jose) was kind enough to help me bring the purchases to the car.”

“Staff was very friendly and helpful! Unfortunately, they were in the middle of a stock change. So it was a little hard to find what I was looking for but they were very helpful as stated above! Would definitely recommend!”
“As far as FWGS go, it's very small but it has the basics. There's another FWGS very close nearby, which is odd. When I'm looking for interesting or harder to find bourbons, this is unfortunately not the place to go.”
“Had an issue but they did right by me even though I handled poorly. If you have an issue, talk to them and they will do right by you. Apologies for not handling it correctly. Thank you for your understanding. Seriously. I apologize for making it a bigger deal than it was. See you soon.”
“Cute little place. I went here for the first time yesterday to pick up some cider and/or seltzer. They actually had a decent selection of seltzers.rhey had three companies for the cider with a few different kinds.
The guy that helped me was very nice and helped me look up ingredients and nutrition facts for the stuff I was interested in. I ended up purchasing both because he was so kind without judgement.
Thank you!”
“Well stocked store. Despite being busy. I was in/out quickly. Plenty of parking available in lot, side streer and lot across the side street. I recommend this establishment.”
“Amazing beer selection and great staff. Sarah is very helpful and everyone there is very knowledgeable. If you need any help looking for anything they are the people to go to.”
