“My neighbor recommended Hartwood beer and I’m obsessed after one stop. They had an awesome selection of beer and mixed drinks, including Super Lytes, which I couldn’t find anywhere. Kevin and Ian were so helpful and kind. Highly recommend!”
“Nice little spot up on Route 8. Vast selection of beers, but this 5 star review is for the young employee Alec I believehe goes by. Very knowledgeable of beer,helpful and hard working. Type of guy you'd want to have a beer with yourself. Thanks again for all the help and great local beer recommendation!”
“The guys here are friendly and helpful. They loaded up my car and made sure I was good to go. I don't stop at many stores like this one, so it is nice to have such an accommodating service. I was in and out, which was also important because I was on a time crunch. They have lots of ice!”
“Great spot! They offered us sample size tastes to aid in choosing a cider. We ended up going with their classic Archebald's and for me it was the perfect blend of sweet, tart, and slightly fizzy. Also, the cider garden out back was a pleasant surprise and great place for a casual date night. We came in the afternoon before the main crowd. Finally, just have to say the ladies restroom was spotless. Definitely would recommend.”
“Brew Thru has the Best people, a great beer selection, and in this heat their beer is Cold. Brew Thru's Team is so friendly that when I accidentally left my groceries at the counter, Doug found me outside and handed them to me!”
“I love this place and the staff. If for some god awful reason it is gone before I return to Pittsburgh, I'm gonna burn something down. It'll probably just be a candle, a white one, and unscented since funerals/wakes never seem to use scented candles.
They know their wine/beer well and have a good selection.”
“Absolutely massive selection of craft beers, great store and easy to get to. Prices are decent, a little on the high end but expected. Worth the stop if you have the time”
“So good! I appreciate that they have Arsenal all over the city, but nothing like trying all the variety at the cider house itself. I love the drier stuff and the broken hearts was a winner for me. My partner got a ginger one and that was also delicious. Friendly staff and nice cozy place. Outside was spacious and we were lucky enough to snag a spot by the fire pit. A Pittsburgh must.”
“During the more than a week’s long power outage caused by wind storms when all other retailers were sold out of ice I went to Joe’s beer distributor as a last resort only to find out he was giving away his ice for free when he could have been charging a premium. I tried to pay him and he refused. I don’t drink alcohol but I will always return to Joe’s when i need to buy ice.”
“I order through door dash and Every time my order is Great! Sometimes because the website isn't accurate they call with amazing customer service! I Thank yinz So Much”
“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.”
“A shout out to the hardest working and most philanthropic beer distributor in Western Pennsylvania. They have donated thousands of cans of beer to a nonprofit I volunteer for, this is a great organization. They also carry amazing brews, just every craft brewery that you know and love. They have been in Millvale since 1933, which means they have survived multiple floods and one fire, and still they are loyal to Millvale, which means a lot to that community.”
“Great FWGS location. Great selection of harder to find bourbons as well as other spirits and wines. Incredibly friendly and helpful staff. Worth the drive even if you don't live in the city. Plenty of parking.”
“I wanted to take a moment to thank TJ for her wonderful service and sweet demeanor on a evening as busy and today. Even though its the day before the Thanksgiving and the store was packed, she met everyone with a warm smile and took the time to help find exactly what I needed. Definitely a wonderful experience.”

“This place is a great beer distributor with refrigerated 6-packs, a walk-in cooler, and a surprising amount of domestic/import inventory for the size of the storefront.
They’re located next door to Shop N Save and have plenty of parking.
I was impressed with the amount of German beers in stock, as well as many other great beers at reasonable prices.
The customer service is top notch with friendly staff and a quick checkout process. This is the type of place that makes you feel valued as a customer.
I will definitely be back!”
“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.”
“Always good+ service when I shop there no complaints. High Five to Noah... I would like to make a request get some Buddy Brews Tshirts made up for the Tshirt collectors out there and also mention Southside pa on it with the zip code 15203.”
“The wine expert was amazing! So professional and knowledgeable. I almost felt guilty taking up his time because I knew so little about choosing sparkling wines and champagnes. But he was sooo patient and willing to educate me. Thank u ☺️!”
“Born and raised in PA so the State Store is all I've known. Clean, professional and reliable. My only complaint is the silly and bad liquors don't make the cut. I like some random wacky stuff to mix it up. That's their problem is the selection is only good things, nothing weird and gross! LOL”
“Brew Burgh is an amazing beer store, full of unique beers and favorite beers. The person who helped me was very knowledgeable about the varieties of beer they carried and what may appeal to me and my family. I'll be neck to see what they have for the fall.”
“Outstanding customer service from the team there! I was looking for specialty bottles and they were beyond helpful in advising me accordingly. Not every store has staff this helpful so I'll be returning for all my future purchases.”
“....this place has the absolute best beer selection but the help is always super maladjusted and they give off the most ridiculously strange vibes... please hire someone normal.”
“Great little store. Good selection for the size. . Robin is a great manager. Very friendly, helpful and accommodating. She will special order if not available in store. Stay safe!”
“Helpful for gift selections ,helpful polite employees, convenient location,nextdoor to post office ,and other convenient stores on same block,handicap parking spaces available if needed”
“They need to allow liquor to be privately sold in Pennsylvania. The state store prices and selection are beyond terrible. I can say that because I've traveled a lot for work and seen the better selection and much better prices across most of America. But not states with blue laws like Pennsylvania. I will say this though, unlike US postal service workers, liquor control board workers are oftentimes happier. I think they appreciate they've got a good job with the good pay unlike the usps people.”
“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”
“I love this store. It’s organized and clean. They always have a nice selection of wines and spirits available. The manager is so friendly…and cute too! ☺”
“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. ;-)”
“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.”
