RaceWay

Best gas station in Birmingham. That is, if you love beer!
Don’t believe me? Browse through the photos and then find me a better one. I dare you!
This gas station, located on HWY 11 towards Trussville, has it all. It’s better than any other for two primary reasons: the most helpful staff and the best beer selection.
First, the staff is more kind and helpful than any other gas station I have ever been to. The wonderful lady’s behind the counter give great customer service. For example, I saw one of the attendance help an older gentlemen get a Icee or something similar and helped him figure out what size to get etc. She really went out of her way. In another example, every time I have needed something, I get help regardless of how busy they are. Raceway always keeps employees on staff to provide great service.
Next, this gas station has the most amazing beer selection. They have beer on tap!!! Yes, I said it… Beer on tap in a gas station. As a matter of fact, today I counted 62 beers. Yes, 62 beers on tap in a freakin gas station. They have all the local favorites, and some really great seasonals. The «beer guy» rotates the stock based on what everybody is drinking. He is very knowledgable and helpful in beer selection. They also have plenty of beer on the shelve and in the cooler.
In summary, the Raceway near Trussville on HWY 11 is the best gas station I have ever been to. Not only do they provide ultimate customer service, they have the best beer selection on this side of town; definitely the best in a gas station in the Ham. Next time you find yourself in my «territory» check out Raceway, the best «beer station» around.

RaceWay is a rather large gas station and convenience store located right off the Interstate at the 459 and highway 11 intersection. You might be familiar with this exit because it’s the quickest way to get to the main shopping centers of Trussville.
This place has been here longer than I can remember and to be honest I always drove right past it to get gas from the Chevron right next to it. I’m sad I did that for so long. First off the RaceWay is a large convenience store. No where near the supplies of a Walgreens or CVS but if you need that one thing, chances are it’s on the shelves. Especially if that one thing might be snacks, toiletries, party supplies (cups, plates, dips) or DRINKS… oh man, this place caters to craft brew beer snobs… I know, it’s a gas station… in Trussville, Awesome!
I found out about this well kept secret from a buddy when he showed up with a half gallon of Old Chub and let me know that they have several local brews on tap as well as other commonly known beers like Magic Hat number 9. They have several shelves in the back of high gravity beers to make an incredible selection. Not only that but the family that manages this store really care about their business and will help you out if you have any questions about beer choices or finding anything else in the store. They are also fun to just joke around with.
It reminds me of Highland Package downtown and how I always enjoy going there. I’m not sure why the Manager of RaceWay decided to dedicate a quarter of the store to the craft brew movement but I am glad he/​she is leading the way as this is now my goto for good beer.
