The Union Beer House

As a beer store, The Union Beer House arguably ranks among the best in the area for diversity of selection. The proprietor is a friendly person who remembers his customers and does his best to accommodate their needs.

Prices are skewed slightly high, but there's not much wiggle room there due to Pennsylvania's strange beer and liquor laws. In most other states, people have a variety of options for buying six packs and single bottles of beer. Here, only "restaurants" are allowed to sell beer in small quantities, and this constraint drives prices up.

Union is one of the few businesses in the area that offers convenient small-quantity beer takeout, so if you're in the area and are interested in trying something new without committing to a) a 12-pack minimum or b) sit-down restaurant service, this place is worth a try. Most of what they have to offer comes in bottles, but they have a small selection of craft beers on tap and they sell growlers and growler refills as well.
