Vintage Estate Wine and Beer

Holy crap what an amazing store! This is a world-class stop even by RateBeer standards. Other than the traffic hell that is getting here, not the store's fault, I have literally nothing bad to say about the experience. This will be a VERY high rating. As other have mentioned... three rooms. The middle room is the beer. As I walked into this room the shopkeeper instantly asked me where I was from, gave me a tour of the store and asked me if I needed any help. I declined at the time, but later I asked for his feedback on a few beers and he dropped what he was doing to help. As he was leaving for the day, he was happy to stick around a few minutes to talk about Asheville beer. In the third room, the larger bar, the bartender was very friendly and gave me a small sample without hesitation. Even the guy behind the counter in the wine room who rang up my purchases was friendly. The selection is amazing. Draft... lots of seasonals and some rarities, with on premise and to go options. The bottles... hundreds of options, including a wide variety of foreign, US, regional, and local. Rarities. And 99% of the beer is singled out already. All organized by brewery, which is nice. Some shelf temp, a large selection chilled. And prices... they're great! One of the most affordable stores I've seen. No case discounts, but you get a $5 gift card if you buy a case of mixed singles. Parking on draft beers was reasonable. Parking was easy but with a couple of other restaurants in the place might get tricky. Food smelled good, but I didn't eat. Overall, this is a place worth going well out of your way for, and I will be back without a doubt. I haven't put in the numbers yet, but I can't think of a thing they could reasonably do to improve. This will probably be my first perfect place score.

What a find. Thanks Rate beer. Great selection of taps, great bottles and bar food. Service excellent and friendly.

Visited here in late September ’16 while in the area for business. Tucked away in a suburban strip mall, this place packs a punch. Part liquor store, part growler station and part bar, this place has it all. Only in town for a short stay so only picking up a a half dozen or so and decided to focus on Ohio regionals. Was not disappointed. Besides the cooler door full of Ohio and Pennsylvania beers, there there wee several aisles of singles, sixers and bombers. If I was here a longer time, I would have had several dozen. Slightly small, but they make the best use of the space. Have a small bar with a growler station and off to the side there is a full fledged bar. Will be back when in the area again

Just in a strip mall, but tons of everything, not a huge space but stuffed to the gills. Dates looked to be universally quite fresh and virtually everything was pre-broken into singles (save, say, the occasional mixed 12-pack from a brewery) that all rang up perfectly at the register, and I was happy with the prices. I do have a few stores of this selection (1000+ brands) as comparison points, including my beloved State Line, and this is by far the cleanest and most orderly of the tier; there is a little something lost without the adventure of the treasure hunt, but I much prefer not having to wipe the cobwebs from an amber ale. Great friendly and knowledgeable service from fully three employees, which is reason enough for me to come back. Got a little kickback for the large order in the form of a gift card. Didn’t peruse the wine section but found the mead shelves to impress, and there are two separate bars with good tap lists! If you’re in Cleveland or Pittsburgh it is absolutely worth the trip, and I can easily see myself changing course to swing through from farther afield. [2016.07.31: 100]

Wendy is just the best! Surprised at just how much rotation they get, and it’s clear that they’re a known destination when they sold out of the bigger Prairies between posting their arrival on Facebook and my own visit. A real destination. [2017.05.25: 100]

First visit. Impressive! Four sections, Wines, Beers, Bar w/ food, and fireplace room plus outdoor patio. Great selection of beers and fairly well organized. Helpful and knowledgeable staff. Decent prices. Various flight options for wine, beer, and meads. ex. 6 beers for $12.99 +. Flat breads are very good with a wide selection. I found many items I haven’t seen before. Will definitely go back again.

Great little place. Limited food selection is the major drawback along with limited seating. I’ve pulled through the parking lot and left due to no room.

Plenty of dedicated parking right in front. Bottle shop, bar, and restaurant. Saw somebody with a pizza, looked good. Huge selection of beer, mead, cider, and perry. Bought several bottles. Had a guy help out a lot and really good selection. Good prices. My favorite bottle shop in OH.

This place is a goldmine for any local beer enthusiast. Almost overwhelming variety (a good thing) in both shelved and refrigerated selections. 3 or 4 different rooms, including a tasting room/mini bar with beers on tap. An outside deck to enjoy your selected taste on a nice day, and even glassware for sale. Great atmosphere that maintains the "feel" that you are in a beer store with a tasting room (good), as opposed to a bar with a beer store. I only have two complaints. 1) The beers are not displayed in an intuitive, obvious way of determining whats what, and where you would find things. Sure, it makes sense to the ones that sock the shelves, because, well.. they stocked the shelves. But for a new customer, you really have to have someone take time to explain their setup, which still needs labeled or revised regardless. This leads me to the next complaint: 2) When I did ask for an explanation, personal beer recommendations, and so on, I felt as if I was putting them out. I had to ask 3 different times for help, each resulting in short, almost "stop-bothering-me", type answers, before a nice young lady from the tasting bar noticed that I was there and could use a little help. This place needs to be organized, or at least labeled a little better, and their staff needs to be trained on customer service and sales a bit more. Other than that, a craft beer lovers heaven.

This place is amazing. I knew it was good but I wasn’t sure what to expect. I managed to purchase 9 beers, all of which were originally on my WL. That and you can’t beat the prices. I can’t wait to go back.
