They carry a lot of spirits, ciders, pre-made cocktails, beers, and more. They also sell pickles from the Pittsburgh Pickle Co. and seasonings from Steel City Salt Co. They host tasting and other events as well. It's a must-add stop for weekly Strip District shopping.

This place was recommended by a manager at a local bar. I tried a local whiskey and was referred…read morehere to purchase a bottle. The traffic outside was so chaotic so it took some time to get here. Hubs had to drop me off while he circled the block to come back and get me. The store was very busy. I ventured on my own to search for the whiskey but did not see it. An employee went to assist me and had no clue what I was talking about. I was bummed because the manager at the bar sounded so matter of fact when telling me I could find a bottle here. After going back and forth with two different employees, I left feeling sad. Not their fault but the whole process wasted 30 minutes. They helped as much as they could and if they didn't have it, let alone have never heard of it, it's not on them. When I did browse around, they were really stocked up and the traffic was moving quickly in the store.

They currently have some cocktail slushies on the menu for summertime. We got the painkiller - it's really good! Great for a warm day. They have a promo that they posted on IG but it's slightly misleading. It makes it seem like the first round ($12) will get you the cup in addition to your first round and you can get $5 refills thereafter. On the check though, there's a charge for the cup and each charge is also inflated ($5.20 for a refill, and $12 + some change for the first drink - I forget the cents, maybe $12.48). Not sure why they don't just keep the charges flat to match what they posted online. Good drink though!

Friday night we visited Country Hammer moonshine's newest location in Ruffs Dale. They have done a…read moregreat job on the building, property, and seating area to make it a really nice place to sit and enjoy a few drinks. It is a very different business model than their usual retail spots in shopping centers. We ordered some of their usual slushees: the adult orange push-up and adult chocolate milk. Just like at their other locations they can add an additional shot to these for additional flavors beyond just the base flavor (and a little extra kick). A new drink that some of our group ordered was the hammered duck. It is a combination of lemonade and snozzberry moonshine with a rubber duck floating on top. It is a nice summer drink and very photogenic! As far as food goes, the only thing we ordered was the salmon dip. It was also very good and served with warm pitas and tortilla chips. We look forward to returning and enjoying more of what Country Hammer has to offer.

Each part of the business is filled with love and you can feel it through the decor and the drinks. Hearing from Katie allowed the patrons to feel a close connection to the business.

Just like the history, aesthetic, and drinks, the food from the Brinery adds to it and allows you to have the full experience out at a cute place in a different area of greater Pittsburgh.

Currently onsite distilling includes coffee (yep!), vodka, rum, rye, and gin. I hear they'll be expanding to bourbon soon. Woohoo!

The event price included welcome drinks, a large spread of charcuterie, tour and a guided tiki-themed cocktail making class where we made 2 drinks. The women leading the tour was so genuinely passionate. It was so interesting to hear her explain the brewing process with such enthusiasm. Shes a valuable employee that made the experience memorable. I enjoyed learning about how the company has come up, from its beginnings. Great to see the whole process of making the vodka from dehydrated potatoes to the waxing of the bottles. The products by Boyd and Blair are delicious and quality. Their distribution and award accolades are seriously impressive. I really loved getting hands on and making interesting cocktails. The teacher was informative and helpful, creating a fun and dynamic class. I learned a lot and am now intrigued to try more at home cocktail making. I will be shopping for some of the tools, bitters and ingredients that we used during class. Staff was friendly and knowledgeable and friendly. Great dynamic experience I would recommend to anyone. I would be interested to trying a different themed class in the future.
