my sister is currently in Boston, Northside...Danvers (if that means anything). She wants to find a good bottle shop in that area. Any thoughts/help/guidance would be greatly appreciated. Looking for stuff we can't get in Indiana..... thanks!!
Just drive South on 128 for about 10 minutes. Exit 38 is Redstone Liquors in Redstone plaza. The best store in the Northshore and it's not even close.
I'd have to say that Redstone is the best, but if you want the ability to find gems (and I regret doing this) then head to New England Wine and Spirits in Newburyport. I find that they tend to have "rarer" beers but not quite the selection of Redstone.
I second Redstone. A little further down the same street is Center Beverage. A much smaller selection, but if you chat with them for a little while, they almost always throw in a free glass!
thanks everyone for the suggestions!! she is heading to some shops this afternoon and tomorrow.....much appreciated.
One of the things I liked about Redstone's is that they're active on Twitter. You can easily follow them and see what's coming in or has just come in. I think Bogie's does it too, because I see some brewers retweet them a lot.
Bogie's is great and easy to get to from Danvers. Take note that the sign above the door says Alexanders. Vinnin Square liquors in Swampscott has a great selection too.
