“Knowing that Pennsylvania runs the liquor stores this one has a small yet nice selection. It's well thought out by whoever makes the selection. And Steph was an absolute help with her knowledge I will definitely stop by again because of her.”

56 Highlands Mall Dr, Natrona Heights“The employees here are always upbeat and friendly. They are willing to help you find anything you might be looking for, even if they don't have it in stock.”
“Balson Beer Distributors is AMAZING!! Owner Nick went above and beyond for my husband and I when we needed a beer delivery. He provided us with an exceptional level of customer service and was extremely helpful in recommending beers and quantities. When we arrived at our wedding the beer as promised and was cooled for our guests. Thank you again Nick and the rest of the wonderful employees at Balson Beer Distributors who helped make our wedding absolutely perfect! Megan & Justin”
“Really efficient and great selection for its size. Super friendly staff. Even if they don't have something they'll order for you to pickup. My go-to in the area.”
“This store doesn't have the greatest selection, and it doesn't always have the newest drinks. What you will find here is all of the classics. Staff is friendly and helpful.”
“A younger looking gentleman was in line in front of me and was asked for ID. After showing his military ID, he was not charged for his beer. I'll never go anywhere else again.”
“Not as big as other state stores but still an ample selection and frequently have great sale prices. Staff is also very friendly. Bonus, it never smells like marijuana like the Monroeville store does. Lol.”
11AM - 7PM
328 Central City Plaza, New Kensington“I don't know anything about alcohol, but the gentleman who worked here was very informative in helping me find the sparkling wine that I was looking for. I think the prices are higher than normal, but it could just be compared to online. Bought 2 bottles of Sparkling Asti. It was about $30 I believe.”
“The owners are great! Always taking requests for newer beverages. They have tastings sporadically throughout the month so you can try something you wouldn’t normally buy and see if you like it. Great place to start your weekend off right. ;-)”

11685 Penn Hills Drive, Pittsburgh“I just go here sometimes to see if there is anything new I would like to try and cook with. Today I just felt like I drink and quess what I didn't have to mix it or go the the bar. Just me,my drink and the birds ?”
“Good pricing, variety & environment. Would have loved if they had given a bit more input or knowledge around the alcohol, instead of just "idk" as a response but overall a cool space.”
“This location in the Hillcrest Shopping Plaza is good for your basic needs. It had a bit of a musty smell, but you're not going to be in here for hours browsing rows and rows of wines and liquors. Get in, get your Jack, and get out!The woman working was amazing as she asked if we were looking for anything in particular. We were and they didn't have it, and she looked on the computer to see where we might be able to find it. I'm obsessed with Lime Yuzu fever tree and wanted a friend to try it. Community Market next door didn't have it either. I bet if Hills was still here, they'd have it. Hills has the Hits! LPs and Cassettes!!! There's another store close by in Lower Burrell which is an "upper scale" store, but they're also not winning any awards for their vast selection. Not bad for a small town store, though.”
9AM - 9:30PM
11689 Penn Hills Dr, Pittsburgh“I'm so glad this is now my local distributor. First time here. I was overwhelmed by the selection, but the friendly staff was quick to offer assistance. Absolutely amazing range of craft beers, and great prices across the board.”
“Their beer selection and inventory are not as good as they were originally. The closing of the Beer Nutz pub in Aspinwall seems to have negatively affected them. But, it's still good. I haven't run into anything dusty in inventory. The staff has always been friendly and helpful.”
“Come here frequently for all our beer and seltzer purchases. The staff are knowledgeable, kind and always ready to suggest something if you need them to. The prices are reasonable and this store has a wide selection.”

“Staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. The beer selection is vast and their prices are reasonable. Been going there for years and they never disappoint. Also, the six pack shop around front has a great selection for more niche beers.”
“Nice people , nice selection , having purchase beer there for years . Posting prices would entice more clients to try different upscale beer . I do not wish to get to the cashier and have to say " sorry , it is too expensive for me "”
“Good service and a nice selection of alcohol. What's not to like? I thought I might have trouble parking, as it's on the boulevard, but there were plenty of spaces available.”
“Stopped in when I was back home 🡠visiting for some adult beverages and was very pleased with the selection and service. Home boy's & girl's doing it up right!”
