    Grocery stores, beer stores, speciality stores, street corners, gas stations... basically wherever there is beer, you will find me.

    No. Not 90% off. 90% of. I get 90% of my growlers at one place and 10% at other places. But I sincerely hope you were kidding.

    Yeah, I answered him but I also wrote that I sincerely hope he was kidding.

    Grape + Gourmet and Total Wine are the go-to places for me. The Norfolk TW is fine, but the VA Beach location at Hilltop is friggin' huge (an ex Books a Million), so I usually combine both these places in a single trip.

    Outside Hampton Roads, I have hit Washington Street Purveyors in Lexington and * Cellar (yes, there are several cellars) in Blacksburg and have been satisfied.

    Growler fills... Smartmouth + O' Connors breweries are close, as well as a Miller Mart (gas station) close by with 4 taps. Can't forget the Whole Paycheck up in VA Beach for growler pours as well.

    As with all Canadian Provinces, with the exception of two (British Columbia and Alberta), there are only government run liquor stores. I don't have too much to complain about the government stores here in New Brunswick but every time I travel to the United States I am completely baffled by the selection. You guys in the US have double, if not triple the selections we have here. Last summer I was in Portland, Maine and was shocked to see that the beer section in the Hannaford made my local liquor store look like a joke. As if it wasn't bad enough already, some of the best craft beers brewed in the United States rarely make it up to Canada (I'm looking at you, Dogfish Head).

    Liquor Depot - The best shop in Dover. Widest selection with the only growler station.

    Mr B's - I go to the one on Rt 10 as it is about 90 seconds from my house.

    Dover AFB - They cold store all beers which is good. Small selection but they have a high turnover for most beers. Cheapest place for me to buy.

    State Line Liquors - Went to this shop for the first time in Elkton, MD last week. Just an incredible selection. Will be in the rotation.

    I live three miles from Weyerbacher so I am a frequent (ok, more than frequent, probably borderline stalker) visitor to the visitor's center to sample and pick up an order. It's a little cheaper there than at six pack shops or distributors and you can buy bottles in any quantity.

    Lehigh Valley PA: Tanczos or Pavlish (Beer distributors - cases only per PA law. Good selection at both places).

    I also frequent Weis and Wegman's for six packs. Good selection at both in my area.

    Better excuse would have been - had a few before I read it... but everyone makes mistakes.

    It's funny, I've been to The Bruery dozens of times and I was there a couple weekends ago and it was the first time I'd even noticed Mr. K's Liquor. Met up with some of the guys from The Bruery at Noble after the tasting room had shut down and they said it was a pretty solid store. I need to try it out next time I'm down there.
