“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!”
“Great local options to choose from including, Hitchhiker and Grist house, and lots of other locals. Well & of course all the classics you expect to see at a beer distributor. We are regulars for sure”
“Nice little place for beer and a decent selection for the size of the store. A little tight inside but, I don’t mind because of the wider selection being the reason. Prices are reasonable too. In and out type of parking (meaning: there’s not a lot of parking space but you’re really just going in and not spending much time in there so, it’s ok for the situation).”
9AM - 9PM
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.”
“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.”
“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”

3845 Northern Pike, Monroeville“This state operated liquor store has wide selection. They have wine tasting every week. The time I went, there was sake from different regions from Japan. Very neat. Staff are friendly and willing to offer their recommendation. The downside is the traffic jam getting in and out from that plaza, especially Friday and Saturdays.”
“If you’re not a local please note you’re not going to find alcohol at the local gas station or grocery store. You need a PA state run liquor store.How incredibly convenient to have included one in The Waterfront complex. Thereafter, this location is an exceptional ambassador for this chain. From entry to exit we were greeted, they came to us vs finding help, laughed along the way and just good people. Extra shoutout to Kathy who nailed what we didn’t even know we were looking for and at an exceptional price. The place is huge, bright and has a very good selection. Pricing was reasonable as well. We will return!”
“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.”
“Superb selection of craft and local beers. The entire staff are customer ready & friendly. Handicappedaccessible doors and wide aisle . Yes if your having a big event shopping carts. Don’t forget about the ICE!! Thank you for your excellent business matters. Promotional Sales events should be 5-7 instead of 4-6 fokes are just getting ready to head home for the evening. Awesome frosty location. Best regards always.?”

109 Blue Spruce Way, Murrysville“Wide variety of wines and spirits. Very helpful and friendly staff. Store is clean and well laid out. It's worth taking a look in the clearance section. Good finds at times. The only downside is the parking lot. Too small for the many stores and restaurants in the plaza. Almost impossible to park near the store.”
“HUGE selection in a small space. You don't need to get your steps in here, easy to find anything. Staff is kind, happy and helpful. They have been happy to do special orders also even without me asking. Highly recommended.”
“Nice selection convenient location bear home and work. Why was I charged $2 more for a 12 pack when I bought two last week? Different person behind the register!”
“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.”
“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.”
“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. ;-)”
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.”

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 ?”
“If you want a wide selection of beer, this is the place to go. They also sell cigarettes, cigars, and frozen slushy with alcohol. The place is very clean and bright. The staff is very friendly.”
“They are always very friendly, and have offered to order what I want if they don't have it in stock. Very convenient when we need ice for our coolers. Coldest ice in town!”
“Rooz Brews is the only beer distributor I need. It's close to home and they carry all the local good stuff including Hitchhiker and Brew Gentlemen, saving me tons of time and gas as I can get all of my favorites in one place! The employees are incredibly friendly and always offer to carry my purchases to my car. Bonus is that they now have killer slushies. We love Rooz and will Continue to shop there and support their business.”
“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.”
“They guys working here are very friendly! They're always willing to help me find whatever I'm looking for!! Also the slushees seems the icing on the cake! I will be a loyal customer now that I live in the area!!”
