Very decent beer selection here. Lots of good local stuff. I picked up a bottle of FW Parabola and a few regionals. Alright prices. And the food options here, obviously, are great, as is the service. Worth stopping in.

Typical and expectable, with slightly better prices than surrounding stores, but mostly sixers and overpriced bombers. Some singles, but only the bigger bottles. Skip this and just go to Four Seasons next door.

After a frustrating Easter Sunday finding every brewery and brewpub we tried to visit closed, we decided to hole up in a motel just outside Amherst and drink some of the stash in the trunk. Spotting a Whole Foods right next door, I decided to pop in for a few provisions and was pleasantly surprised by the beer selection. Plenty of local stuff from the nearby breweries and even some growlers from those that don’t bottle. Definitely worth a visit if you are in the area.

I was pretty amazed by the selection of very good micros from all over the states but also top notch European beers from Belgium, Norway and Denmark. Obvious that the buyer knows and cares a lot about quality beer and supporting smaller breweries.

I think I bought beer at WF once or twice when I lived in Amherst and Hadley. It had a pretty good selection of locals, good craft brands, belgians, etc but couldn’t really compete with the larger liquor stores, at least for college students. And the service was always pretty poor overall.

Another good beer selection at a Whole Foods. Lots of selection, though more pricey than the individual stores. Ryan and Casey, a must visit if you headed north, and Town and Counry if you are headed south. Reasonable import selection. And of course the food accompaniments to a health-conciousness person, like Me, are second-to-none.

Maybe it’s because I come from a beer-poor state like New Hampshire, but they had a surprisingly big beer selection here, in a whole foods store of all places. Lots of micros and regionals. If you can’t find Spirit Haus in Amherst, this is a good stop.

While this selection may not be far above that found elsewhere in the vicinity, I didn’t find any better. Good selection of Stone, some Weyerbacher, and MA & ME beers and more. Worth a visit if you’re coming from afar like me and decide to go to the Moan & Dove (not all too far).
