They know their stuff and can recommend you new things to try based on what you've already had. I walked in today, and it had been awhile since I've been in. The man at the counter immediately remembered me and my preference for hard root beer. They had just received a large shipment of a limited run of my favorite line, and at bottom dollar prices! It really showed the attention to detail and care that goes into operating this establishment. I'll definitely be returning. Check the place out! I highly recommend it.

Because they have no competition the selection can be low, and some brands or items aren't carried anywhere in the state.

I was on my way to a picnic when I stopped by Beer Minimum to grab a case of Oskar Blues' Mama's Little Yella Pils. Later, while throwing some of the cans in a cooler, I noticed some dried mold on the bottom of the cardboard carry - not a good sign. At the picnic, I noticed that the beer was not quite what I remembered it to be (understatement). The next day, I found the canning date to be April 14, 2009 - almost a year and a half old. I returned to Beer Minimum with the remaining two six packs today. First they tried to tell me the beer wasn't necessarily bad. Then they tried to give me two replacement six packs of the same, equally old, beer. After a few calls to the owner and some awkward conversation, the lady directed me to Vecenie's Distributor from whom Beer Minimum got the Pils. I reminded her that I got the beer from Beer Minimum. She told me that I could have purchased that beer anywhere. I told her that her computerized records will indicate that I purchased it there. One obstacle to my return was that I did not have a receipt. Unfortunately, I don't recall ever even getting a receipt. Anyway, I left the two fetid six packs with the lady at Beer Minimum. It must be noted that this is the second time that I have purchased old beer from Beer Minimum. The first time happened about seven years ago when I moved to this area. I successfully returned, but it was still a pain in the.... I had boycotted them for several years as a result. I slowly started going there again because they are the closest distributor to my home. I always checked the dates and kept the receipts. This time, they caught me off guard. The moral of the story: I cannot, with a clear conscience, recommend this place. If you must go there, be sure to check the date of the beer you want to buy and save the receipt. Ask for help only if you want to feel uncomfortable. Buying beer should not be an adversarial relationship.

If you need a nicer store for browsing, this is about it for Western PA. Since PA is liquor controlled, the prices are the same even with the nicer environment. This store is as premium as premium can be, at least in the Pittsburgh area. Not sure what Philly has. Parking is kinda weird as the area has grown. It's on an upper floor of the building, so if you don't want to take the stairs, try and find the upper floor of the parking deck. I didn't know where it was so I parked at the ground level then hoofed it up the stairs. I felt like a dumb jagoff, knowhatimean? Getting the really good stuff is still a challenge as the people in the know line up on delivery days. But a store like this is more likely to have something a little more rare than another neighborhood store. I visited 3 stores when I was in town, and didn't find anything special. It's the luck of the draw these days.
