    Craft Beer Cellar is a new store in the Fenway area of Boston that has great potential. There's also one in Belmont that is excellent.

    My local(ish) shops are Brewtopia in Keene, Undun and Bev King in West Lebanon and Mike's Store and Deli in Hartland, VT. I also infrequently visit 4 Seasons in Hadley, MA, The Spirit Haus in Amherst and Julios in Westborough. Also when I see something that may look promising, I'll usually stop and take a look.

    Warehouse Beverage in South Euclid and Red Wine & Brew in Chesterland mostly. Sometimes I get bottles to go from La Cave Du Vin, which is a bar I go to decently frequently that also sells bottles to go. Heinen's and Whole Foods have pretty good selections, and I'll even pick up beer from Giant Eagle once in awhile.

    In northeastern KY, Continental Liquors, Ashland Beverage Center, and Carter Avenue Spirits - all in Ashland - are all decent. Across the bridge in Ohio, Leo's Carryout in South Point and The Party Connection in Portsmouth are good as well.

    The Beer Trappe is a must when in Lexington, but that's a bit out of my way :slight_frown:

    Marina Market, Total Wine, Tacoma Boys, and Pint Defiance are mine. Bevmo used to be in there, but has been outclassed by TW.

    Not really any major players in my area(southern Indiana) but cork Liquors in Columbus, IN and the keg Liquors in both Clarksville and New Albany, IN. The keg also host a relatively large beer festival in the area "the fest of ale" it's always a "must go" for me

    My "go to" is the downtown City Wide in South Bend. The Belmonts and Chalets are hit-or-miss in the surrounding areas. Pats in Porter is awesome for some unique brews.

    Hop City, AleYeah, Tower. Better beer bars than stores with a vast selection, only real gem is Hop City.

    I like Tops Liquors, they have a lot of choices. Total Wine has a good selection, AJ's is a high end grocery store and they carry a nice stock of craft beer. Then the old standby grocery store, they have all the local guys in stock. And the best of all, local breweries, most by me sell cans or growlers so that is alway top of list for sure, fresh as it gets.
    Cheers.

    Rishi's International Beverage in Grand Rapids, MI. The owner (Rishi) could not be nicer or more helpful, the selection is fantastic and they allow you to buy singles of EVERYTHING they have in stock. For me, this is great option as I am a bit apprehensive of spending $10-$20 on that intriguing 4 or 6 pack when it may be something I do not enjoy (I.E. Devil Dancer).

    Sadly I only have one main one for harder to find things, Brews Brothers Beer Emporium. But, I get a moderately decent selection at my Giant Eagles. But I typically just go to the breweries themselves. Best place for fresh!

    warwick RI - I.M. Gans - decent selection and you can grab a beer from any pack, it does not have to be in the "mix-a-six" section. They also keep a lot of craft cold.

    Superior Discount Liquor in Manitowoc Wisconsin. I got an email from them today that they have received and are saving for me CW Rye Chocolate Porter and Brewhouse Coffee Stout. They know I am in Florida on vacation. How nice is that !

    Usually wherever I buy groceries...Whole Foods or Harris Teeter. I used to go to Total Wine and Wegmans a lot but they treat their beer like shit and stock a lot of old warm beer.

    Rishi's is my go to as well. Nothing but great things to say about him and his staff. Working about a mile away makes stopping in on the way home way too easy. Being able to buy one of anything is convenient too.
    Sometimes I'll grab stuff at Meijer too as they have an ever improving selection.
