Good Location, OK selection

by Beerhound

Mckees Pop and Beer...what can I say. I can't put this place down due to its proximity to my home but the import/micro selection is next to zero. It's kind of funny because they have a sign that states "Check out our Micro-Brew selection on the back wall" yet the section is empty and has been for the last 5 months. Honestly, if your looking for good a good micro section, check out Beer World in Crafton. I spent almost an hour in there poking around.

Pop and Beer tends to stock mostly domestics and malt liquors, but they did redeem themselves by having a small isle of imports(Belguin, German, Irish and British). They have a decent variety of Sam Adams, but don't count on it being cold. Which may I add, is an up charge unlike some of their competition. It does seem that the imports are slightly higher in price than other distributors.

The staff has always been friendly and accommodating when I purchase my beverages. They close at 11 which is great for you 2nd shifters, but the doors lock at 1050 and you have to use the service window. Safety first, I understand. All in all, this is an average distributor with your standard selection.

• Pros: Good Location
• Cons: Small Selection
