  1. Kathy, This is very interesting. The United States is leading the world in something, best beer distributors. I never knew there were awards for this or that records were kept on this. Very interesting post. Mary Ann Reday.

  2. that is true Mary. Again the U.S. is taking the best of the world and making it our own. I am shocked not to see a Philadelphia distributor on the list. I myself am a connoisseur of beers, and can name a few localized variety beer distributors.

  3. Interesting post. So again the Unites States leads when it comes to beer. I try to tell my friends all the time it’s not just Belgians and Germans that take pride in their beer. I see there are no Philadelphia distributors on the list. I would have thought that with some of the great breweries we have in the eastern part of the state there would be at least one or two distributors. Either way beer is fear man!
