    Hey all,

    I'm new to the forum, but I wanted to ask around to see if anyone has suggestions on specialty stores to buy some craft brews?

    Thanks

    I know northern VA is littered with Total Wines. They usually have a huge selection. Not mom and pops though.

    Try Norm's Beer and Wine in Vienna. Good selection and it's a mom and pop kind of place.

    I'd recommend Westover Market in Arlington.

    Westover has a great selection but is usually massively marked up. Arrowine is a solid shop in Arlington. Whole Foods in Fair Lakes is absolutely wonderful. The other Whole Foods are of varying qualities.

    WF Fair Lakes is rather legit, the beer guy Lee has his stuff together, bring your growler if you go their.

    Whole Food Vienna also has a pretty good beer staff and growler fills. And it's only a few blocks from Norm's Beer and Wine, so you could check out both places if you wish.
