Giant - Harrisburg

Larger than the Giants I know in DC. Pretty well organized, large selection of singles, mainly local, regional and larger national craft. Don’t expect service, it’s a grocery store. Good on them for finding enough loopholes in PA beer laws to make this happen.

I noticed this place as I was dining at Sonic. It’s PA which means for a grocery store to sell beer they have to pretend they’re a restaurant which means lots of unnecessary seating and a separate entrance. They have a lot of BMC plus some national craft with a few locals. Theres nothing to unusual or seasons here. They don’t seem to be moving a lot of the bombers since I saw several dusty ones. In fact they had some DFH My Antonia from 2011. Plus they had this weird lighting scheme where they shine spotlights on a lot of the beer. In,ess you’re shopping for BMC or you want to sample potentially skunky, I’d avoid this place.

Well done Giant Foods. Now the Harrisburg crew has a "Food store bottle shop" on the East Shore. Not do be outdone by Wegmans over on the West Shore. Great location! Lots of people live near here. All of the 12 oz loose bottles are refrigerated- sigh. But they are well lit - and displayed very nicely on a long, well lit shelf unit. The littel cafe is comfy, nice bathroom - modern no flush toilets. Very clean space. Selection is quite impressive with reasonable prices.

Has a cool selection, nothing too special. does have a good price on mix six pack, but the single bottles like 22oz seemed a bit high as well as some of their six packs. Best feature is that it is a grocery store that actually sells beer, which if your live in pa you know is very rare.
