Excellent selection and service. Friendly and knowledgable staff.

Located in a industrial park sort of area. Nice ambiance without being bar-like. 9 4-seat tables, minimal menu. Very good bottle selection, 30 beers on tap on night of my visit. You can get a 16 oz beer, a 1/2 growler, a growler, or you can get a 4x or 6x sampler of 4oz from anything on tap. There were three on tap beers of 30 not available for tasting/sampler but staff still graciously let me taste one. Bottle prices are high, at least the bombers. I bought a 750ml bottle of Ommegang Aphrodite -$18.00. I checked my records when I got home... I had bought the same bottle at Liquor Locker in Hagerstown (about 20 miles away) less than a month ago for $13.99. On the positive side, probably 90% of the bottles are in coolers, and they have many choices for mix-a-sixpack, possibly more choices than anything in this area.

Great selection of bottle craft brews that are hard to find in this area. Also has 30 taps, and they also fill growlers. Ambience isn’t much, but its mainly a bottle shop with a few tables set up to go for the tap area. They do serve food, but I haven’t had any so can’t comment. Also has drive through to get your sixers. Can mix and match six packs. They have picnic tables in the grass outside, have weekly brewery tastings and during the summer have live music on weekends. Biggest downfall for this place is the price for six packs. I understand a mix and match six pack would be higher than normal, but a six of Troegs Hopback was $3 higher than at the bar by my house, (which is only 10 minutes away and still in the same county of PA so I don’t think it can be blamed soley on PA taxes. Too much mark up. But good for checking out the taps for tastings, and prices were good on bomber and 750 bottles.

Stopped by to get some Founders, as it is not sold in MD, where I live. They greeted me and asked if it was my first time, and when I said it was, they gave me a free pint. Not bad. They explained how the place works, mostly selling mixed sixes. I did buy a couple of six packs, and filled a growler. Also had lunch and another pint. The lunch was limited selection wise, but was tasty. Ambience is just OK, but it has a drive through service as well. Overall, I like the place, but the prices are high. That is likely to keep me from heading there often. I will go for special events and tastings, but not likely to go very often due to the distance and high prices. I can find most things there other places cheaper. Good service.

I really wanted to like this place, because to my knowledge it is the first bottle shop in Chambersburg to offer a passable selection of craft beer and not the usual commercial swill. Unfortunately, you have to buy your 6-packs two at a time (as in literally one transaction for each two 6-packs) because of Pennsylvania’s lame liquor laws. Prices are quite high as well (PA taxes). The day we were there, we bought six 6-packs, and you would have thought we were inconveniencing the dude checking us out. Nor was he helpful when we asked a question regarding availability of certain brands in PA. They also have a computer locked onto Beer Advocate, which is thoughtful (and admittedly original), but obviously not my favorite beer rating site, and they won’t let you change the site to get a second opinion. I didn’t try the food or fill a growler, so I can’t comment on those elements.

Stumbled around looking for this place after seeing their commercial. Great selection and one of the few places in PA you can find individual bottles and 6 packs. Make your own microbrew sixer for $14, but it doesnt include the top shelf stuff. Plenty of breweries represented that are hard to find here. Pretty good import selection, with your Chimays and Orvals, and even some Delerium Tremmens. 30 taps with a nice variety, including Victory Yakmia Glory and Lindemans Framboise. Employees were very polite and helpful. Atmosphere is a little lame, but that’s probably too much to expect from a place that isnt necessarily a bar, just a bottle shop with taps. Not sure on the glassware, both beers we ordered were supposed to be served in shakers, but I didnt see any other glasses behind the bar. I did like the 32 oz growlers though, which is nice because my girlfriend and I dont have enough common beer interests to warrant a 64 oz growler. Best feature? A computer with Beer Advocate (too bad it wasnt RB!) as the homepage so you can look up anything you find. Nice place, I’m really glad I found it but I wish I found it before I graduated from Shippensburg!
