    Hear, hear! I was actually surprised to find a liquor store of this size on a Cape. And the beer selection is excellent, both quality and quantity-wise. Imo, if anybody is in the Falmouth area, it is definitely worth a 10-15 minute drive.

    Instead of Ring Bros, I would check out Yarmouth Wine and Spirits. Only an exit further (exit 8) up Cape, and its right next to the Stop n Shop in that plaza. They got a pretty good selection of craft beer there. I find that the Luke's in Brewster is of better quality than the one in Dennis and Harwich as well.

    I've also seen the quality of the Grain and Vine go down as well. It has been disappointing seeing them carry less and less over this past year. I often find myself making the haul up to Kappy's or off Cape now because of that.

    Yarmouth W & S is a fine choice too, but I was definitely impressed with Ring Bros more recently. I went to both places on the same weekend (befrore last) and was definitely more impressed with Ring Bros for whatever reason.

    Hmm. My experience at Grain and Vine in Hyannis was different than Ednose's. I stopped in the afternoon of July 2nd and left with a bomber of Arrogant, a four pack of Deviant, and a sixer of Double Simco. The bomber shelves were somewhat sparce, but Stone, Avery and several others were on display. I was taken somewhat aback by the limited quantites but quite pleased with the selection in light of the limited options on the Cape. I would stop in again.

    From our house in Dennis to Hyannis after the last two times ... it's a tough sell on the drive in summer traffic unless I know I can get some Jack's Abby (as this is the only place on the Cape of seen JA). I was there Friday 6/29 so a couple days before you.

    There is a new liquor store in Patriot Square in Dennis that carries Jacks. I've only seen Jabby and Smoke there. Their craft selection is tiny, but well picked for what they have. I've been bugging them for over a month to get Hoponius too. Yarmouth W & S just got both in last week, and I have told them they should get Hoponius as well. No need to drive to Hyannis to get some Jacks anymore :slight_smile:
