If there is anything I love more than a good drink, it's saving money buying that good drink! The rules for providing discounts on alcohol differ substantially between states with some allowing outright discounts or coupons and others entirely disallowing any sort of purchase incentive. Thankfully though, in my native Georgia as well as most states, a simple reimbursement approach is permissible.
Alcohol Rebate Site Master List
The following sites are relatively stable for each manufacturer. New offers usually come out every few months. None of these are affiliate links and I provide no assurance as to the process. I have saved so much money using rebates and hope you have similar success. Best practices and general process advice will be presented at the bottom. New sites will be added as I uncover them.
Beer Rebates
- Boston Beer Company Brands - Angry Orchard, Dogfish head, Hard Mountain Dew, Samuel Adams, Sun Crusher, Truly, and Twisted Tea. Some brands may not have active offers. Sam Adams usually has at least one.
- FIFCO Brands - Genessee, HempTails, Labatt, LIipton hard Tea, Magic Hat Brewing, Pyramid brewing, Seagram's Escapes, Smithworks hard Selzer
- Guinness Rebate Hub (Reliable) - Rebates for Guinness, often including some for in-restaurant purchases
- Heineken USA Rebates (Reliable) - Rebates for Heineken, Dos Equis, Tecate, Carta Blanca, and Bohemia Beer. The Heineken and grocery offers are typically net positive (pay more than the cost of the beer) and many can be used multiple times.
- Radberger Gruppe - Clausthaler, Schöfferhofer , and Radeberger beer rebates
- Beermoney.pro - Site which scrapes offers from Anheuser Busch Brands (Budweiser, Michelob Ultra, Bud Light, Busch, Stella Artois, etc.). Users can also submit offers from other publishers. You'll actually submit the rebates through www.mybeerrebate.com but that site makes it very difficult to actually find the offers. The best rebates are gas and beer or grocery and beer. Opportunities to get completely free product here.

Whiskey rebates are rare from them.

How to Submit a Rebate for your Alcohol Purchase
For all of these promotions, you will need to keep your receipt!
- Check for an active rebate on the product you are wanting to buy. Validate the offer is valid in your state. Check what size product you will need to buy (6-pack, keg, 1.5L bottle, etc.). Double check the dates that your purchase must fall between. Look for any special conditions in terms of what may count towards any minimums or if there is a specific retailer that you'll need to buy from. Most rebates will work with any retailer. Be careful if something requires an in-restaurant purchase.
- Go to the store and buy the products. In some cases, you may need to buy multiple things. For example, a beer and grocery promotion may want you to buy $80 worth of groceries (excluding alcohol/lottery/gift cards) and a 12-pack of beer you will want to be careful of the dollar amounts involved. Usually the two products won't have to be on the same receipt necessarily as long as both purchases fall within the promotion period. This comes up often with gas+beer promos as I pay at the pump and then may buy the beer the next time I go grocery shopping. If there are multiple receipts, I will either take one picture with both receipts and the relevant numbers highlighted or submit them separately if the vendors rebate system allows for that functionality.
- Submit the Rebate - Make sure your receipt photos are clear and the relevant amounts are highlighted. You may need the product UPC code or to take a picture of the bar code as well, so don't discard the packaging until after your submit the rebate. Double check your information and make sure you don't need to click an email or anything to confirm the submission. Many rebate providers will send amounts to a PayPal or Venmo account. Some may still mail prepaid gift cards and those will take longer.
- Get the Rebate - It can take 4-8 weeks to get a rebate, so don't be overly concerned if you don't hear back immediately. If your submission get's rejected, you'll typically get some sort of email. Don't Panic! Reply to that email address or the referenced customer service inbox and they'll get you sorted out assuming you actually bought the right stuff (why we check check check in step 1). I've only had one rebate get rejected and it was my fault for not buying the right SKU.
- Enjoy Your Free or Discounted Product -The most important part. Cheers!
In some cases, you may be able to stack rebates with Target Circle Offers, Kroger App offers, or Ibotta promotions. Do not try and stack promotions within the same site as this may result in all submissions being voided.
