In 1996, L. Knife & Son acquired Union Beer Distributors, which was originally located on Union Avenue in Brooklyn, but has since expanded to its present location alongside the English Kills Canal in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. Union Beer has grown dramatically in the last decade, as the primary distributor of Anheuser-Busch products for Kings County (Brooklyn), through the hiring and development of the best people in the industry.
In 2003, Union Beer acquired a powerful catalogue of specialty brands, which immediately positioned them as THE craft beer supplier to accounts in Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, and Staten Island. Union perpetually tweaks their portfolio to maintain the highest level of stylistic breadth with the most coveted brands available.
Through the highest possible level of service, outstanding salesmanship of the ultimate lineup of brands, and a paramount focus on education on all levels, Union Beer has solidified its position as the only source for the best selection of beers in the fourteen counties of southeastern New York.
