Brooklyn Beer & Soda

5 out of 5. Best selection and honest staff.

Please be cautious when ordering from this business.
As a former customer I’ve had many good experiences using them, aside from recently when they sold me expired goods. It was brought to my attention by a customer of mine who checked the label for expiration and realized it had expired many months prior.
I thought it was an honest mistake of the distributor so I called to have them replace the expired product. They gave me every excuse in the book to make it impossible to return even though I had receipts and proof it was an error on their part. Please be cautious or go elsewhere.

I actually had a very pleasant experience ordering a keg of Coors Light for my birthday party over the phone, but come delivery day everything went downhill. When they asked me when I needed it, I said anytime before 7pm, as that's when my guests would be arriving. So they had from 9am to 7pm and it was delivered an hour late. What's worse is that once it arrived it was foamy and skunky. I am used to kegs being a little bit foamy when they arrive, but it stayed foamy throughout the duration of the party and even into the following afternoon. Barely anyone drank from it, so the next day when I actually looked at the label on the side of the keg, I wasn't surprised. It expired almost three months ago. I called to politely express my dissatisfaction and was told super abruptly that the beer wasn't expired and that they simply "forgot to switch out the label". I asked why it was foamy, then, and they told me I needed to allow it to "sit for at least 24 hours so it can settle". That's literally not true lol... I also complained about it arriving late and she said, "see, this is why we don't like to give time windows for deliveries." I'm like ok so if you don't give a time window then when the hell am I to expect it?? Basically, they had every every BS excuse in the book each of the three times I called. I know they want me to just give up, so here I am writing a highly dis-satisfactory review to warn others about the unfortunate service at Brooklyn Beer & Soda.

Great selection, but I'm a little annoyed. I got a 6 pack of DuClaw Sweet Baby Java porter, and only 3 of the bottles were the beer that was on the pack. The other 3 were the Sweet Baby Jesus porter. I like it...but I wanted what I paid for. So just sloppy on their part.

Pretty decent selection of beers, import, local craft, and mega brewery. I went in for Belgian, and there was a good range of the usual suspects. Although I came in very close to closing time, the staff was pleasant and helpful.

Good selection and excellent pricing if you can take advantage of buying in bulk. I mostly come because of their variety of craft beers, which are loosely organized in what feels like an ever shifting manner. You never quite know what you will or won't find, but I never leave empty handed.

Good selection, but gotta check the best by date. This has technically been "expired" for two years now. Bought in may 2020.
