They carry a lot of spirits, ciders, pre-made cocktails, beers, and more. They also sell pickles from the Pittsburgh Pickle Co. and seasonings from Steel City Salt Co. They host tasting and other events as well. It's a must-add stop for weekly Strip District shopping.

This place was recommended by a manager at a local bar. I tried a local whiskey and was referred…read morehere to purchase a bottle. The traffic outside was so chaotic so it took some time to get here. Hubs had to drop me off while he circled the block to come back and get me. The store was very busy. I ventured on my own to search for the whiskey but did not see it. An employee went to assist me and had no clue what I was talking about. I was bummed because the manager at the bar sounded so matter of fact when telling me I could find a bottle here. After going back and forth with two different employees, I left feeling sad. Not their fault but the whole process wasted 30 minutes. They helped as much as they could and if they didn't have it, let alone have never heard of it, it's not on them. When I did browse around, they were really stocked up and the traffic was moving quickly in the store.

Well, the website said that their kitchen was open when we got there the bartender let us know that it was in fact not open and that it was only beverage service. That was a slight disappointment to us as we probably would've hung out later if we could've been able to get food. I did a flight and tried the honey, the apple, the kilted barrel cast, and the Wapsie. Overall, I thought they were all pretty decent. The kilted definitely has a lot of peak and drinks very closely to a scotch. The honey one for me was my favorite and I ended up buying a bottle to bring home. My husband got an old-fashioned made with the Wapsie. He enjoyed it but liked it even more after the ice melted a bit. We were a little surprised that they close so early on a Monday but they close even earlier on Sundays so highly recommend that you pay attention to the operating hours if you're planning to visit.

They currently have some cocktail slushies on the menu for summertime. We got the painkiller - it's really good! Great for a warm day. They have a promo that they posted on IG but it's slightly misleading. It makes it seem like the first round ($12) will get you the cup in addition to your first round and you can get $5 refills thereafter. On the check though, there's a charge for the cup and each charge is also inflated ($5.20 for a refill, and $12 + some change for the first drink - I forget the cents, maybe $12.48). Not sure why they don't just keep the charges flat to match what they posted online. Good drink though!

It is a very different business model than their usual retail spots in shopping centers. We ordered some of their usual slushees: the adult orange push-up and adult chocolate milk. Just like at their other locations they can add an additional shot to these for additional flavors beyond just the base flavor (and a little extra kick). A new drink that some of our group ordered was the hammered duck. It is a combination of lemonade and snozzberry moonshine with a rubber duck floating on top. It is a nice summer drink and very photogenic! As far as food goes, the only thing we ordered was the salmon dip. It was also very good and served with warm pitas and tortilla chips. We look forward to returning and enjoying more of what Country Hammer has to offer.

The event price included welcome drinks, a large spread of charcuterie, tour and a guided tiki-themed cocktail making class where we made 2 drinks. The women leading the tour was so genuinely passionate. It was so interesting to hear her explain the brewing process with such enthusiasm. Shes a valuable employee that made the experience memorable. I enjoyed learning about how the company has come up, from its beginnings. Great to see the whole process of making the vodka from dehydrated potatoes to the waxing of the bottles. The products by Boyd and Blair are delicious and quality. Their distribution and award accolades are seriously impressive. I really loved getting hands on and making interesting cocktails. The teacher was informative and helpful, creating a fun and dynamic class. I learned a lot and am now intrigued to try more at home cocktail making. I will be shopping for some of the tools, bitters and ingredients that we used during class. Staff was friendly and knowledgeable and friendly. Great dynamic experience I would recommend to anyone. I would be interested to trying a different themed class in the future.
