About Us
Harlem Beer Distributing
At Harlem Beer Distributing, one taste does not fit all. We seek to bring extraordinary beers with empowering stories directly to those who want it. We’re dedicated to offering great beverages that reflect the flavor and uniqueness of the craft and communities that inspire them.
Our story began more than 20 years ago, when word spread about a beer from Harlem. Starting with small batch home brews, our flagship Harlem Sugar Hill Golden Ale and Harlem Renaissance Wit were instant hits! From its launch at the Studio Museum in Harlem and early partnerships with Sylvia’s Restaurant and the Apollo Theater, Harlem Brewing has always brewed it forward, supporting countless charities and community organizations. Over the years, calls and IGs from beer lovers across the country and around the world poured in asking where they could find the beers. Yet few distributors understood the craft beer revolution or how to cultivate the diverse consumer market.
These days, commercials aren’t driving brand awareness, grassroots marketing and social media are. We're proud of the many long standing partnerships that helped sustain our growth both online or on-premise. Over the years, many independent craft beverage suppliers called for advice on how to brew, register, distribute and market their brands. Harlem Beer Distributing and our team of experts in manufacturing, distribution, sales and marketing was the answer. We offer competitive prices, great values, and consistent inventory. We strive to compete favorably and professionally and pride ourselves on continuous growth and excellent service!
Blacktoberfest
Historic collab! #Blacktoberfest is a collaboration beer between 8 Black-owned breweries and 1 Black-owned distributor.
Our culture is our currency!
Blacktoberfest the event is a celebration of our past and present cultural connection to beer, food and entertainment, and the age old concept of circular economics. 30 Black-owned establishments come together throughout the month of October to showcase their respective talents in this inaugural festival of craft beer and culinary excellence.
Blacktoberfest the beer is the coming together over a common love for brewing and emphasizing the importance of combining our collective talents from the grain to the glass. In year one of this historic collaboration, 8 Black-owned breweries and 1-Black-owned distributor unite to brew a beer that is as unique in it's flavor profile as it is in the brewers themselves. An annual gathering that will include dozens, then hundreds of Black Brewers as the platform grows.
Blacktoberfest as a whole is about synergy and self-sufficiency. It's where we show up for each other to inspire, create and collaborate around the business and art of craft beer. No longer waiting for others to define equity and ownership but building new systems to effect measurable change globally. It is a powerful vehicle for collaboration and community engagement with an openness to all people that love Black culture and great beer! If you are truly about promoting equality and empowerment, then we invite you to collaborate, support and celebrate with us the month of Blacktober.

Harlem Strawberry Hard Cider
Harlem Renaissance Wit glass
Nucleated Pint Glass with HB láser etching inside bottom of glass.
The HB laser etched “nucleated” glass provides a great sensory experience. When beer is poured onto the etched bottom, this creates more bubbles that last longer and therefore produces a more stable head.

THE BLOOD ORANGE KOLSCH
THE BLOOD ORANGE KOLSCH
Dirtbag Ales is proud to present an innovative approach to a time honored brew. “The Kölsch” pairs the finest ingredients with traditional brewing techniques and our own Dirtbag spin to bring to life and body to a refreshing, citrus infused masterpiece. The Blood Orange Kölsch starts with a pronounced citrus note provided by blood oranges that finishes with a hint of raspberry. A perfect balance of hops and malt that is assertive, but not overpowering, great for enjoying by itself or with a meal.
COLD-BREW MOCHA PORTER
THE BLOOD ORANGE KOLSCH
THE BLOOD ORANGE KOLSCH
We use locally roasted coffee beans, from Cumberland Coffee Roasters, to cold brew coffee over 24 hours. Coffee that tastes the way it smells; roasted velvet sweetness without a harsh bite, combines with our Porter to bring a decadent rich flavor that’s smoothly rounded with a healthy dosage of lactose. This brew started as a special cask offering of our Porter and quickly gained its own notoriety, for good reason.

Oui Oui Saison
We have taken two renowned American hops and paired them to create a fresh take on the American India Pale Ale: Cascade and Centennial. Both hops are continuously added throughout the boil bring a balanced hop profile that is combined with a smooth malt background. This beer is hoppy enough for the hophead, yet refined enough for the casual drinker.
