Erie Beer Company

Erie Beer Company The Erie Beer Company is the premier distributor of specialty beverages in Northwest Pennsylvania. Home deliveries were a big part of the overall business.

We specialize in the distribution of fine beverages, always striving for excellence in helping you serve your customers. A little Erie Beer history…

In 1933 at the end of Prohibition, John T. McCormick and his partner Harold Mulvihill started the Erie Beer Company. They were able to secure the franchise rights to Erie County for Anheuser-Busch a few months later. During those early years many sm

all local and regional breweries existed and were distributed through Erie Beer Co. In those early years, deliveries were made to not only taverns and distributors but homes too. In 1960, John T. McCormick bought out his partner Harold Mulvihill and brought his oldest son, Michael McCormick into the business to eventually become the President of the company. John’s sons Philip and Edward would then follow once they completed college. John T. McCormick passed away on April 1, 1972. Following his death the decision was made to end home deliveries and concentrate on just tavern and distributor business. In 1968, the family decided to bring on the Stroh Brewery. This little known brewery would double in size and grow many times over the next several years. It would become the biggest selling brand in Erie throughout the 70’s and early 80’s. Anheuser-Busch would then grow into the market leader from then on. It still remains the market leader today. In 2006 the McCormick family bought the Anheuser-Busch wholesales in Franklin, PA. This would expand the Erie Beer Company’s territory to a total of five counties. In 2008, Kevin McCormick became the Equity Manager for the company.
