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.

“Hey, they’re open later than some distributors. I’ll take it. Didn’t have exactly what I was looking for but instead got to try some new sours, didn’t disappoint at all.”
“Craig Beer at Center and Craig reminds me of an old world family-run business! Its posters and signs are very cool. Craig had all the things I needed to take back to family who picked up beer at Craig for years. The family loves the brews and classics that only Craig seems to have. With help from the new Manager, Adam, I took care of all my holiday shopping. Get to Craig Beer while you're in Pittsburgh.”
“Brew Gentleman has always been a solid spot. We hadn't made our way out there for a bit but decided to check it out again. We were pleasantly surprised to see they changed it around a bit from the previous layout, and they added some nice touches. They always have a nice line up of styles, and their flagship beer is on tap. There is a beer garden around the back of the building that is not connected that provides additional space when the weather is nice. Four packs available on site to go. No food on site, but there is a food truck sometimes.”

“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!”

4133 Liberty Ave, Pittsburgh“As a long time Bloomfield resident I've known this locations history starting 40 years ago as a gas/service station. A few years ago the owner was having the many years of his hard work catch up. He sold the location to what is now was once a unicorn, a beer distributor with an outstanding selection sure to suit anyone's taste. And here's the real anomaly, plenty of parking!”
“Great selection of popular beers, craft beers, and other libations. They’re all served super cooled and ready to serve. You can pull off S. Braddock Ave into its loading zone, quickly go into the shop to buy your favorite beverage, and be out super quickly. Close to the Parkway.”

“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”
“We buy Verde Champagne plus various other Cases over the past 35 years of being in business for our customers as gifts. Also, we do favors for weddings and the verde bottles decorated and custom labeled by us are a big hit! I call in my order and it is waiting chilled or un-chilled as directed. Donnie and his staff are very accomidating and they load everything for you! I remember as a small child going to this place with my father to get wooden cases of Orange & Cherry Pop. Our printing business is next door .”
