Way overpriced for beer. Head over to Shangy's in Emmaus for lower prices, a WAY better selection and much more helpful staff.

Typical Pennsylvania beer distributor. Open on Sundays. Cold beer costs $1 more per case than room temp beer.

This place is great. Been coming here for years. Great selection, friendly staff, and reasonable…read moreprices. What inspired me to leave this review today though is Chris. OMG what a sweet guy! I went in to buy a slushie and he told me about all of the new flavors and gave me his personal recommendations. He offered me samples and joked around with me as I taste tested. When I apologized that I had no cash for a tip he said he doesn't work for tips. He was just happy to help me. He shook my hand and said he was happy to meet me. And wished me a great day. I was determined though and found $1.50 in coins and two free drink tokens for the Alliance Fire Hall in my purse to offer him. LOL I hope to run into him there to thank him again. GREAT STAFF! GREAT SERVICE!!

Coming from out of town being that my girlfriend grew up in Bethlehem and family still lives there…read more This is the go to beer store every time I come to town. They have a great selection of beers domestic and import all types bottles, cans I was blown away by the selection, all the beer stores in LA do not have this much selection. It was like walking into beer heaven. They had every type of Coors Light that is offered in America. Also growing up in Virginia, I always look for this Baltimore beer National Bohemian and YES THEY DID!!! Drinking that beer brings me back to Ravens games Huge Selection and great prices drive me back here anytime I visit the Lehigh Valley!!

What more do you need from a beer distributor - Great selection and good prices. Everyone there was…read morevery helpful.

The selection, availability and service were fine. Even the price was ok. I was a little surprised…read moreregarding the unusually high tap rental deposit ($55). It was explained that I would get it back when I returned the tap (no timeframe given). This is where it gets bad. We tapped the keg but didn't finish the beer in one night. So the next day I took the keg to a friend's house who had a kegerator. I took off the rental tap and left it in my car and planned to return it when the keg was kicked. No big deal. Wrong! A few days later, I received an exceptionally rude, threatening voicemail saying that if I didn't immediately return the tap that I rented, they were going to call the cops and charge me a whole bunch of extra money, etc,. The COPS? For a rental tap that they already charged me $55 for? I'm still wondering what law I'm breaking by holding onto the tap that I rented. Also, it's just a tap and you're a beer distributor - isn't this just part of the business? Aren't you supposed to have enough taps in stock that you don't have to threaten your customers? No one ever said the tap needed to be returned by a specific date. I had every intention of returning it promptly. I tried to call them back shortly after the voicemail was left and no one answered. My wife called the following day and the person that answered the phone was just as rude and confrontational as in the voicemail. I like beer. My friends like beer. I've gotten kegs and rented taps before. I've always returned them and have never had a problem. This is the first time I've ever encountered this kind of rude, uncalled for behavior from a distributor. Needless to say, I will never use Iron Run Beverage ever again.
