beer distributor
Brewery-to-bar link
A beer distributor is a company that buys beer from breweries and sells it to retailers—bars, restaurants, and stores.
In the United States, this middleman role is mandated by the three-tier system separating producers, distributors, and retailers.
In Pennsylvania and parts of the Northeast, *beer distributor* also names the retail store itself where customers buy cases and kegs: I'm stopping at the beer distributor to pick up a case for the party.
