Amity Wine & Spirit Co.

Typical strip mall box of a place...LOADED with booze, wine and, of course, a shite ton of worthy beer.....its in the back on multiple shelving units and larger cooler units. Worthy selection...they have plenty of options of all of the good stuff generally available in the area....obvious bottle shop to hit up if you are also going to NEBCO, which is about 2-3 mins away

 

A wide selection of bombers and single foreign bottles. A decent selection of craft 6-packs. Some variety packs, but not a lot. Staff is very helpful and knowledgeable.

 

the selection is what sets this store off, they must do business with a distributor that isn't widespread across CT. they get beers that the rest of CT seems to not have access to. right next to the best brewery in the state too.

 

 

If you're at NEBCO just down the street, coming here is a no brainer.

Simple strip mall and a very good sized store but not too large. Excellent selection of domestics and imports, even some NEBCO offerings from time to time too. Staff are extremely helpful and very knowledgeable as well, had a million questions and they answered them all with ease.

Great stop if you are in the area without question.

 

Almost right next door to NEBCo, in a older plaza across from A1 Toyota. Place is light somewhat dimly near the beers, not the cleanest or fanciest place like Coastal. Service is OK, usually a bit understaffed and no one will talk to you unless one of the beer guys is free. Selection is great, definitely one of the best in the area. This probably has the largest selection in new haven.

 

The selection is awesome here no doubt, BUT the attitude staff gives off left a sour taste in my mouth lately. I was always a regular here but lately it seems everything on the shelf is ridiculous out of date. Its a shame for those said reasons I have stopped shopping here, I know I am not the first person here to feel the same way. I found several six packs of certain IPAs that were over a year old, that is just not called for

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Definitely the best selection in the area for beer/cider/mead. A solid stock of excellent imports and sours. Hard to get bottles are still hard to get as the traffic here is heavy and things tend to sell out quick.

 

Located in a small shopping center next to Five Guys and not far from New England Brewing, Amity has 2 aisles of craft. Solid offerings of foreign beers and a reasonable selection of local craft. Friendly service.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

OK atmosphere: basically a large wine and spirits store.

Shelves seemed to be stocked and cared for regularly; the only old dates I saw were on bottles for which it is entirely appropriate (e.g. Belgians).

I had good experiences with three different staff, all of whom were friendly and knowledgeable.

The selection is near as good as I have seen, with tons of local brews, but also a great selection of craft from throughout the US, and a massive amount of imports. They had two full long aisles of nothing but craft brew, and stacks of cases available (of good stuff, too).

Prices were exactly what I'm used to for craft: no gouging noticed, but no bargains, either.

This is so much better than what I have in SE CT. Then again, that's to be expected. Chances are they've got what you need, and if it's a bit rarer or limited distribution, they've got a good chance of getting it in; keeping it, or not selling out within hours, is another story entirely.
