Bulk Alchohol for a Reception? - Seattle / Tacoma, Washington

Bryeguy · 01-24-2011, 12:51 PM

My fiance and I are tying the knot at the end of March. We are going to have beer and wine that we need to provide. Where are there places that we can purchase beer/wine in bulk for about 200 guests. We are definitely looking for kegs.
Has anyone found a reasonably priced place?

Rollies in Lakewood

Or go directly to a brewery and see what they have to offer

Anywhere closer to Snohomish that you know of?

Look up local breweries
Skookum brewery I believe is in your neck of the woods. Just gotta search

Skookum -- good stuff!

If you are looking for kegs due to price, you might actually want to look at bottles instead. My buddy had his reception and bought an awesome variety of Redhook beer at Costco and it was much cheaper than getting an equivalent amount of beer in kegs. A real benefit of this is that you can take home any extra and it won't go bad on you.

Also - I don't know if they have BevMo stores around you, but that's where we got our beer/booze for our wedding in california, and they let you return any unopened bottles for a cash refund, so you can make sure the party is stocked but not worry about overpaying.

Congrats!

I looked it up and they are not in WA. I like the idea of Costco to kegs! I'll have to price it out.
Thanks

Thanks for the info!
They only accept cash/ check, so this might be difficult. He delivers for free to our venue, Hidden Meadows, in Snohomish. That is a pretty big deal to not have to worry about on the big day. I'm going to try to scrape up the cash. Very reasonably priced, and great customer service skills!
