“Hartwood Beer is amazing! It’s so well-organized and the gentleman working was extremely kind and helpful. When the flavor of beer I wanted didn’t come in a 6-pack, he was nice enough to open a box and sell me 6 cans. I will definitely be returning!”
“Wow. Beer nerds, I have found a gem for you. This is the best variety I've ever found, let alone in such a small place. Skill level expert. The first cooler as you walk in is full of craft Pennsylvania beer. The interior shelves hold a delightful and thorough variety of imports and other craft finds. The owner even invites you to make requests. Seriously, I was just passing through and may have never realized this place existed. You're doing yourself a favor if you make a point to stop.”
“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!”
“Best prices, best service.
Edit: I made this review a while ago but wanted to reiterate that this place is the only place to go for your beer needs. Prices are fair, service is exceptional. Management has made this place an 11 out of 10. Great job and continued success always. See you soon.”
“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”
“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.”

56 Highlands Mall Dr, Natrona Heights“This store has a good inventory. I just got 2 boxes of Franzia. It seems like the price increases by far outpace inflation,but the prices are the same at any store.”
“A good liquor store in a historical part of town. Over 100 years ago this place was known as Rothman's Restaurant and Bar. Here's an awesome street view image that shows what this same area looked like way back in 1909. It was famous for good whiskey and Baeuerlein Beer was on draught at that time.”
“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.”

2200 Main St, Pittsburgh“Very friendly and helpful attendant there First time in and was pleasantly pleased with such a great element of customer service! Wednesday April 10th 2024 Dianna”
“Joe’s (the owner and the business) are wonderful! We live out of state, but anytime we’re in town and stop in he’s got what we need and he is such a nice guy!”
“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. ;-)”
“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.”
“Only reason I’m giving this five stars is so that people see it at the top. They sell out of date beer. If you go to buy any beer, make sure it’s in date because they did not. Bought 4 cases of beer only to go home and have it taste really bad so I looked at the date and sure enough it was out of date. Will not be shopping here again”
“This might just be the smallest Wine and Spirits in Allegheny county. Just the same, they have a decent variety and you'll find most of what you're looking for. Just don't go looking for things that are exclusive to the premium collection stores and your expectation will be met. Bota box, yes. Jameson whiskey, yes. Suntory Toki even, yes. Saki, no for the most part. German resiling, mostly no. I'm sure you get the idea. Look for the standards, they'll have most. Look for something special, they won't have it.”
“I was there choosing wine for our family Christmas gathering, and there was a very nice young man who was so helpful. And they cheerfully carried my boxes out to my car.”

4706 William Flinn Hwy, Allison Park“This location is small. But I was pleasantly surprised by what all they packed in there. Excellent use of available space. I even found an item that wasn't available at much larger locations nearby.”
“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.”
“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.”
“Top notch place with the best prices and selection I’ve seen in the region, and it is my go to for craft beer and local offerings. When I price compared anything worth the time like 30-packs, sampler staples, and chase limited offerings, Brewski’s wins out. The staff is very helpful and friendly. It’s a place worth driving out of your way for a family shop experience. Thanks for always making us feel like valued customers.”
