Buying Beer By The Six-Pack In Pittsburgh (With Or Without A "Loss Of Privacy" Chaser)

Here is an incomplete list of local stores at which one can purchase excellent beer by the six-pack (or single) without being forced to provide to the store (and anyone else the store chooses to sell or give the information to) electronic detail concerning your name, drivers license number, address, age, gender, product purchased (with a correlated, detailed history of other product purchases), time of purchase, location of purchase, and other information:


Bocktown Beer and Grill, the Pointe, Robinson

D's Six Pax & Dogs, S. Braddock Ave., Regent Square

D's Six Pax & Dogs, Northern Pike, Monroeville

Pittsburgh Bottleshop Cafe, Washington Pike, Bridgeville

Sharp Edge Beer Emporium, South St. Clair St., Friendship


3 Sons Dogs & Suds,
Perry Highway, Wexford

Barley's & Hop's, Library Road,
Bethel Park



Here is a complete list of local stores at which one can purchase excellent beer by the six-pack (or single) only by permitting the store to use your driver's license to record electronically (for its use or other companies' use, perhaps after your information has been sold without your knowledge or permission) your name, address, drivers license number, age, gender, product purchased (with a correlated, detailed history of other products purchased over a period of years), time of purchase, location of purchase, and other information:
Beer at Giant Eagle (various locations)

On a more pleasant note . . . what's your favorite beer?

Millions of customers have made Giant Eagle the #1 grocery chain in our area for many years, and will continue to do that for many more. Customers use their Advantage cards for purchases every second of every days. Why is there a difference, all of a sudden with customers who choose to purchase their beer at Giant Eagle? Great selection, great prices, convenience, clean stores. You are trying to cause a controversey on a problem that does not exist. Let the market decide.
