This has become my go-to distributor since the pandemic started. I finally went in for the first time to hunt around for specific things and I was floored at the variety they had. I have been big into PA brewed beers lately and they have a lot from some of the best breweries across the state. Hitchhiker, Levante, Free Will, Logyard, Stickman and countless others. As well as many of the most popular craft brews from other states. The biggest plus is that they have several large refrigerators so most of the beers that are supposed to stay cold (think hazy fruity lactose IPAs or sours, etc) stay fresh for a long time. The fact that you can mix and match as many singles as you want (it will cost more as singles than it will in a 4 or 6-pack) is really nice for those that like to try a bunch of different beers. Their online list of beers and prices is very useful for seeing if they have things you want before you go but I think even that doesn't show some of the varieties available. Highly recommend going if you want to find a wide variety of...
Read moreWhile I had as good an experience as you can get considering the current condition we find ourselves in I doubt I will be back. I put in a rather complicated order through the annoying AP they rolled out last Friday. I picked a number of different beers thinking the current free time would give me ample time to discover some new flavors. So knowing it was complicated I put a note in the system that I would pick up the order at 3pm which was several hours away. I show up at the store and I'm told they don't have my order ready yet. Twenty minutes later it's ready to roll, but little did I know they shorted me a half case of Victory Dirt Wolf. I found this out when I unloaded the order at my home and quickly sent them an email. Here I am five days later waiting for a response. No dice. So I call the store and wait on hold forever then get told a manager will be back in touch with me. That was hours ago. So I guess Link made and extra $25 off me and lost a customer for life. Shangy's will forever remain the...

When I went there today to get a case of Moosehead, none was on the shelf. Before I could ask, one employee showed up with a case from the coolers. And when, I told him I preferred not cold, another employee said he’d go to the warehouse and get me one, but that it could take a little longer, and I said ok.
I took a peek into the warehouse and saw something unbelievable. The employee was on a forklift moving huge pallets out of the way to get to cases of Moosehead at the bottom! After about 10 minutes of pallet shuffling on the forklift, he happily carried me back my case of Moosehead with a smile. It would’ve been far easier to tell me none was available, but he did not.
My only regret is I neglected to ask his name. Actually, both employees need to be commended! By the way, their prices...
