Tons of decent beers are squeezed into this place, lots of singles and 750s, plus a back room of sixers. Good selection of local stuff, including the largest selection of Bruery I have seen, if that appeals to you. Worth the short trip from the district, or a good detour enroute to Baltimore.

Nice, unassuming gas station looking liquor store. Large wine selection and moderate Scotch selection. Focus is half and half craft beer and wine. Lots of American microbrews in six-packs with occasional bombers from DuClaw and Heavy Seas. Lots of singles from Weyerbacher, The Bruery, Jolly Pumpkin. Prices are pretty reasonable coming from DC. I think it’s definitely worth stopping by. They have BrewDog Sink the Bismark and Tactical Nuclear Penguin for a pretty penny but just FYI. Not bad. Agree with Ryan, staff won’t ask to help you and may not be interested. But that’s better in my book than being harassed every second like 1 West Dupont Circle.

Best place to buy beer in the area. Chevy Chase has a better selection but is a little pricier and is in DC so traffic is worse. Perfect Pour has a better selection but is MUCH pricier. Corridor Spirits in Laurel is comparable but I like the beer selection (and prices) here.

This is your must hit beer stop in College Park. Stays pretty up to date with most new East Coast brews, though a few may slip through the cracks. Solid international selection as well. Best prices in town, typically a dollar or so less than it’s underachieving peers. A lot of my beer knowledge was gained from purchases here.

Standard prices for the area. The have the best beer selection for a 5-10 miles radius.

Decent bottle selection. Best selection in the College Park area. Some slightly rare local stuff. Good micro selection and not much wasted on the macros.

A really great, really cramped liquor store, the beer is somewhat scattered, the selection is fairly vast without including everything available, and the quality of the offerings are very good. One of the last places in Maryland with some Choklat, I imagine, and they also has some of the new Terrapin stuff. Import selection is decent, prices are reasonable - a good store and one I will go to again when I’m in the area.

Decent selection, especially imports. American craft beers are only available in sixers or bombers/750s. Prices are ok, but are higher than Astors. Also the selection is better at Astors. Beers available here are Great Divide, Jolly Pumpkin, some Avery, Weyerbacher, Smuttynose, Troegs, DFH, Brooklyn, FFF, Victory. Service is, you don’t bother us, we won’t bother you.

Decent selection (especially imports). Micros are a little lacking. Poor handling of bottles. I’ve had more skunked 6-packs from this place then anywhere else. The guy that owns the place is a jerk. Corridor liqours in Laurel and Barnyard Wine and Spirits in Glen Burnie are way better.

Small place with a nice selection. Mostly 6packs, some singles. Found a Fantome Chcolate here. This was very close to my hotel. Jeffin took me here on my guided DC tour.
