I love this little store! It is small, but for the size, the beer selection is good. I frequently find beers here I can’t at other local retail stores. Last time i was in I picked up some signed BFM bottles, which was super cool. Their beer guy is quite knowledgeable and friendly. I stop in whenever I’m in the Old Port, and usually leave with a big box of beer!

Great local shop for me. Nolan knows his stuff, if he is around definitely tell him what you like and ask him what he would recommend! Prices are very fair on beer and the selections change pretty frequently but has been lacking a bit during these grey winter months after the holidays !

Nice little beer store right on Commerical. The store is small, but has a great selection for the space. Some great imports and American micros. I found a few bottles here I haven’t found anywhere else in the area. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. Parking can be a bit of a pain.

A good little beer store. A nice selection of all of the Maine breweries, some Belgians and northeast beers. Had Struise Pannepot when I was there, which I thought was awesome.

A small store on a street along the touristy waterfront/harbor. Selection included local and some regional beers as well as the more popular imports. I bought a Thomas Hooker Imperial Porter, which is from Connecticut.

This store was just across the parking lot on the same block as our hotel on Commercial Street in downtown Portland. The guy working there was friendly enough to point out a couple places we were looking for on the map. We walked around the store for a bit after that and found a surprisingly nice bottle selection with a good variety and fair prices. Could have gotten some good stuff here if we weren’t flying home, so my options were limited. Lots of good local Maine stuff, including the super-small breweries. Fair amount of foreign bottles mixed in, and lots of good stuff in the coolers. I was impressed for what they had in here, given the location and fairly small space.

Hit this up by chance as I was walking around Portland with my folks. Solid little store but didn’t have anything that really stood out to me, especially when compared to RSVP liquors. Too small and limited of a selection and the prices seemed higher than I had seen. I still bought a bottle of Hitachino Nipponia cuz I hadn’t seen that anywhere yet.

Small store front in downtown Portland. Good selection focusing on local brews with a decent selection of imports and other well-known domestic craft beers. Good for a quick 6-pack before a sailboat ride!

A very pretty little store in Portland’s downtown by the piers. We found a decent selection of american micros available in ME with a few good imports as well. Prices were reasonable, a bit higher than RSVP but at least they let us buy the beer. The guy there was knowledgeable about his stock and helpful. A good shopping experience.
