What are the best beer retail websites for getting beer from the UK in the US? Didn’t know how to look this up on Ratebeer otherwise, so I’m looking for your recommendations here.

Ideally, I’d like to use a retailer that carried a good deal of traditional UK pub beer and newer craft beer sources alike.

Not 100% sure but I think these ship internationally

Looked at them this morning, and thought they were promising. Have you ordered from them?

Same here, fast shipping and good packaging but no experience with international shipping

I have ordered several times from ABM, breakage is close to common, lacks the bombproof shipping which I have experienced from Beermerchants, which also ships international.

Good to know.

In a related vein- are we able to search places by type on Ratebeer? If so, I’m in the dark as to how that’s done.

I have ordered from AbM several times and have never had any problems. I wouldn’t hesitate to buy again.

I’ve spent well over £1000 with abm over the years. Shipping to NI so similar to international. Very low rate of breakages and they always refund/replace. They also pack and ship orders for Brewdog.
A chunk of my London rates came via them when they used to feature brewed in London boxes
Fast and efficient customer service, with me they were also happy to hold a part box prior to shipping so I could fill the whole thing to get beat value on postage. Definitely recommend
