I’ve been looking for a decent bottle shop in NEPA for a number of years now, and I’ve finally found a good one. The place itself is a bit out of the way and you will definitely need the map to locate it if you are not familiar with the area. The shop itself is nestled among a small group of stores and would easily be mistaken for a hole-in-the-wall distributor based upon its appearance. The inside is nothing to look at and there was a bit of residual cigarette smoke in the air, but beyond that there is a very good selection of beers that are not generally available at home (which for me is Long Island, NY). There were several different beers each from Founders, Bells, Lost Abbey, Port Brewing, Victory, Mikkeller, and Brewdog. The bottles were arranged a little haphazardly and it took a bit longer to search through everything. One plus is that more than half of the inventory is under refrigeration in big, glass door refrigerators. Prices were reasonable and I will be back!

This is def the place to go for bottles in NEPA. Big selection, but most importantly, a quality selection. Some brands include: Lost Abbey/Port Brrewing, Dogfish Head, Bells, Avery, Rochefort, Chimay, Stone, Rogue, Flying Dog, Brew Dog etc... Chuck is a good dude and will make an attempt to get what you want. The best in the area.

This place gets cases from Ace Beverage in Eynon, PA, and sells singles and sixers. I picked up Southampton Abbot 12 for $11 along with some other goodies. They have over 400 varieties. The exterior makes it look like your standard macro place but walk inside and you’re treated to Southampton, Left Hand, Victory, Troegs, Stone (11th and vertical), Brooklyn Local One, Smuttynose, Unibroue and too much more to list. I was short on time and didn’t ask about the bar. Its located near a pizza joint on a small plaza. The staff are willing to help you locate whatever you are seeking there. They had a stack of cases which haven’t been stocked. This is the future of Pennsylvania: stores which split cases from big distribution centers. Chuck asks customers for beer recommendations so he knows what to stock next. There is a place called Purv’s down the road in Peckville which apparently has a great selection as well with $5.50 bottles of Stone 11th Anniversary. I’ll review that one next!
