Finally stopped by this place which is right near my neighborhood. I was incredibly impressed by this facility. They offered an incredible selection, organized by beer style, from across the country. The place seems geared toward mix-and-matching and offering larger bottled beers, but there were a few six packs and sampler packs in the store. What I was most impressed by was their staff. Incredibly welcoming and asked as I was browsing if I needed any help. The staff seemed knowledgeable and wanted to help me make a good purchase (specifically a purchase for my father for his birthday). I will definitely go here more often.

All I can say is wow. I was amazed at the selection this place had available in such a small store. Hundreds of domestic craft brews from around the country, hundreds of imports. I have read some complaints about prices being high, but I noticed that the barrel-aged Narwhal was $3 less than I paid at a store less than a mile and a half away. Darn it.
My only complaint would be the way they arrange the beers. I have never been a fan of grouping beers together by style. I much prefer grouping by brewery. Maybe I will come to like it over time, because I will definitely be back.

A very solid selection and a very helpful staff. I wish they would expand their ability to refrigerate ipa's, but space limitations are space limitations. Always happy to stop by when I am in the area.

Relaxed vibe, helpful staff, great selection at reasonable prices. My only wish is that it was closer to my home! If you're in the area, be sure to stop by and check it out.

If you want to make a decent mix-and-match in the Pioneer Valley, this is a great choice. Stopped by and it is like a Toys 'R Us for a BeerAdvocate. Top notch selection. Mix and match six packs are always more pricey than an off-the-shelf selection, but I found the prices reasonable. Beers seemed fairly fresh, too! Service seemed good, but I politely refused as I was happy to wonder about like the proverbial kid in a candy store.

I am not fond of bottles shops that organize by beer style, as this shop does. I find it to be very disorienting. The store does not make good use of thier space, the shelves when you first walk in are empty, with most of the beer around the corner out of sight initially. Some 6-packs, but mostly single bottles at a good price. It is a well curated selection, but don't go here if you're looking for that one specific beer...
I was impressed to see a keg of Be Hoppy in the cooler, and also brought home 2 bottles of Big Brekkie that have been gone from most stores for several months.
Overall, I would stop here on occasion, but not make this my regular beer shop.
