Levante Brewing Introduces Pennsylvania Online Can Delivery Service
Levante Brewing of West Chester, Pennsylvania is introducing a direct to consumer can sale initiative. A fresh 4-pack of a juicy IPA delivered to your doorstep is every craft beer fan’s dream. Picture a classic cartoon of a milkman dropping off the daily dairy delivery, but replace the whole milk with a New England IPA. Many breweries have dabbled with online pre-sale of their latest releases, but few breweries let drinkers purchase and receive beer from the comfort of their homes.
Details of the New Delivery Model
Levante’s can sale system is the first of its kind in Pennsylvania. Here’s the deal regarding how the service operates:
- Launch Date: The service kicks off on February 4.
- Availability: It is only open to drinkers in Pennsylvania.
- Ordering Process: Folks can order through the Levante website.
- Delivery Time: After ordering, the beer will arrive in four to six days.
- Pricing: The beer will be priced the same as if you had picked up a 4-pack at the brewery.
Shipping and handling will vary but Levante is working to keep shipping as low as possible. Regarding product quality, all of the beer will be date stamped and Levante will take beer off the system if they are no longer fresh.
Beer Selection and Quality
Levante has earned well-deserved praise for its quality juicy IPAs and flavorful stouts. The first few offerings will be hazy IPAs, a pilsner and a never released Imperial Stout, but the brewery hopes to work in other styles of beer as the can delivery system grows. “There’s a demand for our hoppy and hazy cans, stouts and other beers and they want them as quickly as we release them,” one of Levante’s owners Jim Adams shared.
Improving Accessibility for Fans
“Now, folks don’t need to drive hours to get to the brewery and potentially wait in line. We hope this is a convenience for everyone.” Adams mentioned that the direct to consumer can delivery approach might not fit in with every brewery’s model, but the new system definitely sets Levante apart. “Our intention is to change the game by delivering cans to those who otherwise couldn’t get our beer.”
Levante’s can sales system doesn’t preclude locals from swinging by the brewery and picking up beer in person. In fact, there’s a vocal section of craft beer fans who enjoy the camaraderie and tailgating-like nature of can release lines. However, Levante’s new sales model makes it easier for fans from around Pennsylvania to enjoy the West Chester beer. Now, anyone in Pennsylvania can try Levante’s beer.
Other Direct Beer Programs in the Region
In addition to Levante's initiative, the Brewery Direct program allows loyal customers to purchase beer and sodas directly from Appalachian Brewing Company. They currently offer 1/2 and 1/6 kegs and full cases of ABC product through this program which allows you to have the freshest beer and soda possible. Similarly, for those in Ambler, PA, the Ambler Beverage Exchange focuses on bringing the finest selection of craft brews, domestic favorites, and locally made beer straight to you.
