For as long as I’ve lived in Pottstown, I have never really ventured into Frank Smith’s. The other night I was over toward that way for dinner, and expecting some company afterward for some drinks, I stopped by for a couple of cases. The atmosphere is typical PA distributor, with a warehouse-type of feel and cases of beer organized and stocked in strategic, pallet-driven piles. The selection was pretty good. They have a host of cases from all over the world, but mostly from the US. They carry the usual PA micros, from Victory to Sly Fox, and a decent selection of DFH and others from the around the area. They have plenty of imports, too. I was really disappointed in the prices and value. I paid over $80 for a case of Guinness and a case of DFH Raison. I can get those same two cases at Beer Mart in Reading for least $10 cheaper. I prefer shopping at Beer Mart. I can hit them up on my way home from work and save a whole lot of money. But in a pinch, I’ll stop by here.

Decent ambience, and a decent selection here. I found a case of the Zappa beers here, plus locals and some relative rarities. The service was very good, and prices were reasonable. Update as of late August 2009. I went back in here and wow, was i impressed. The selection here has increased an amazing amount, with tons of rarities and local stuff. A great guy named greg helped me out and we talked beer for awhile, and it is obvious to me that this guy knows his beer and is a real friend to the beer community. My rating gets kicked from a 78 to a 96. One of the top 3 beer distributors I have seen. Awesome place.
