This is just the average liquor convenience store with the only difference being that they have a wider selection of beers that most other stores of this type. The employees were friendly and somewhat knowledgeable. They had some pretty good local brews and if I ever happen to be in Ashland again I definitely hit this place up.

In downtown Ashland, ABC is quite large for a beer/liquor/wine store. However, much of the space is dedicated to liquor and wine. There are about 10-12 coolers and 2-3 chest-high shelves of beer in total, a little more than half of which is toward the rear of the store and dedicated to regional and micro brews. Probably the best place to find beer in Ashland, but I still prefer Leo’s in South Point basically right across the river in Ohio.

(Visited 11/2007): ABC is located near downtown Ashland on Winchester Ave a short distance from the bridge. Parking is plentiful in side and rear lots or on the street. The store is fairly large inside and features wine and liquor as well as beer. The majority of beer is located in coolers in the middle of the store and near the register. They do a good job segregating the 2 sections of beer between macros and craft beer. As for said craft beer, there is a pretty good selection of some of the bigger name craft brewers like Stone, Rogue and Sierra Nevada plus some regional brewers like GLBC, Bluegrass, Berghoff and Bell’s. There is a smattering of imports as well. Just a few singles are available. The service here is friendly and helpful. I got the impression that craft beer isn’t their bread and butter by any stretch but the proprieters were every bit as attentive to me and my small beer purchase as to the larger number of people loading up on other potables. Overall this is a handy store to have around the Southern OH/Northern KY area and I would definitely hit it up next time I am in the area.
