Beer Store in Malvern

Nyfrb is 10.99 in ohio

 

I have a friend who lives in Malvern and he was very excited when this place opened. I didn't ask about pricing but they probably figure being one of very few good shops in the area they can get away with higher prices. They do have a sweet selection though. I did see a pic of a massive display of NYFRB. Hope they sold through it at the price being charged!

 

I bought a six of Kirsch there because Wegmans was sold out. Prices were the same.

 

Keith, you stated “six” but you meant to state “four” since Kirsch comes in four-packs.

Wegmans prices for four-packs are not cheap. It does not surprise me one bit that this beer is priced the same.

Cheers!

 

$15 a bottle where I live....if you can find it.

 

really? christ, i'll send you some if you want it, i can get it outside philly around $15/17 for a 6 pack of cans

 

Ha well back when I posted that I was living in South Korea. I'm back in the States now....much more affordable haha. Thanks though!

 

Just coming in to state that this place still sucks. Avoid at all costs.

 

Anyone go to the Philly location yet? Curious to know how jacked up the prices are there.

 

I'd imagine they're in line with the Malvern store, if not higher.

 

The only thing "good" about this store is that they will have some beers that are hard to find anywhere else. That's just because the prices are often almost twice what they should be but if you LOVED a seasonal from a year ago and are willing to pay an insane price then they might have it.

 

What about the age of the beers? Are they fresh or is there lots of old product?

Cheers!

 

A decent amount of old. Last time I was there I saw Stone RIS and Weyerbacher Insanity that were over a year old. There was fresh beer too but I get the impression that some of their very overpriced beer doesn't sell well. I wouldn't mind buying a barleywine or RIS that's a year old for normal prices though and that's what I was shopping for so I can't say how fresh stuff like IPA's and pale ales were.

 

I was guessing that was the situation. Thank you for your input.

Cheers!

P.S. Yes Imperial Stouts are a more forgiving beer style as regards bottle age.

 

Last year I saw them put out Victory Hop Ranch way out of season, it was in like late spring to early summer.

 

What!?!

Hop Ranch is a hoppy beer with a limited shelf-life.

Cheers!

 

The last time I was in the Southampton store was the weekend before Christmas 2014 and they still had Aprihop on the shelf. And it wasn't a clearance shelf either.

There was another thread, I think it was the Java Cask thread, where a few of us speculated that these owners also own a beer distributor in the city: https://www.yelp.com/biz/northeast-beer-philadelphia

Seems like the legality of the whole operation is somewhat sketchy.

 

I was there once. Had a glass of Maine Lunch. Went home with a bottle of Russian River Supplication that they just got in that day. Purchased fresh Jai Alai and Breakfast Stout that is not available in my distro area. Like a kid in the candy store.

 

Agreed. I dont know what this place is. Ive seen lots of people go over the 192 oz limit. And they serve beer. and were serving liquor at one point. the f*ck?

 

License Type:RESTAURANT LIQUOR - (R)

They have a type-R license and should be held to the 192 oz limit.

"Even though "R" licensees may serve liquor, wine and beer products, they are under the same restrictions as "E" licensees regarding the sale of these products for take-out purposes. "R" licensees may not sell any single, open container of alcoholic beverage for consumption outside the establishment."

"E" licensees may only sell beer or its variants; liquor and wine sales are forbidden. The licensee can sell up to 192 fluid ounces of beer products, in original containers, for take-out purposes. "E" licensees may not sell any single, open container of alcoholic beverage for consumption outside the establishment."
