Metro west Craft Beer Cellar.

Honestly, between most places in Metrowest you can find whatever CBC would bring into inventory. HOWEVER, if their Trillium hook up extends inventory to this location then that in-and-of-itself will be worth it.

 

About a year and a half ago I called to see if they got Sucks in. I was told it's coming in a couple of days and they could put my name on a list for a chance to get ONE 12 oz bottle. I then drove to Whole Foods and bought 2 six packs, easy as pie.

Another CBC has a guy who often tries to push me on some beer I don't want, and when I say I'm not a fan of that brewery or that beer I get this dumfounded look. If I have a question about where something is in the store or whether it's n stock, then I appreciate helpful answers, otherwise I just want to buy my beer in peace.

 

This is where I go a lot. Always a solid selection, and the folks there are nice, too.

I've also started going to Crafted in Holliston. Prices for what I've purchased have seemed good, and they sell a lot of singles. Also, staff is really great.

 

I don't know about this location to be honest. It's like five minutes from my house and I like CBC but I still might not end up going there very often because Rt. 9 is such a garbage fire.

 

I'd love to go to Crafted more often, but it's just far enough away that I can't justify it. The one time I went I met the owner and he seemed like a really good guy.

 

THIS^ If I shop in Framingham, I usually go to Super Discount Liquors on rt 9 across from Framingham State. They keep all of their craft beer refrigerated. Not a huge store, but a pretty good selection.

 

For me CBC in Newton is actually cheaper by a hair then Marty's. I'm still sticking to Marty's most of the time. At the end of the day the reason for splitting up packs is not to spread the wealth its to get more customers in the door. I get it and its all good. I don't blame them. I just want one stop beer shopping.

 

Agreed, I really like that place and the owner is super helpful (cheap plug!)

 

Yeah, the owners are great. The first time I came in his wife gave a nice little tour of the store. It's a good size, too. Sometimes I get overwhelmed if I'm just aimlessly browsing at Julio's...almost too many options!

I definitely like having options out this way. A new place actually just opened in Ashland. It's predominantly a wine shop, but they were advertising beer. Not sure what the selection is like.

 

Ironically - I was just at the Wine Emporium tonight. I was chatting with the guy and he had a nice little craft collection started but was still waiting on deliveries. The one thing I liked is his ENTIRE beer selection will be in a walk-in cooler. After a recent issue with a store w/ old/warm merchandise (see my Stoneface thread) I was very happy to see this. I told the guy to market the shit out of this . . . . If you chill it, they will come . . .

 

Nice! I'll be paying them a visit.

 

Where is this place?

 

On 135 in Ashland, heading west. It's right near the Honeydew.

Bonus: The Mexican place across the street is amazing.

 

Oh, Mexico City Taqueria? Nice, that's right by me.

 

Metro West location? Lame. That area is flooded with great craft beer stores. The south shore really needs one of these (Norwood, Canton, Walpole...just a few towns that I can think of). So sick of the crap selection down here.

 

Canton is going to be home of one of the states best breweries, so you got that going for you...

Oh I can't wait for that. Definitely a start. The packies down here though...Jacks Abby is exotic and the idea of rotating stock so the beer is fresh?...good luck.

 

Not to get off topic here, but check out Tri Town Liquors in Canton. Recently got a nice craft selection for the area.

 

That's where I go. That is probably the only store in the surrounding towns that has a decent rotating selection but they also have no idea of their stock. Had a pretty frustrating time with them involving the Otter Creek Double Dose when that came around.
