The Barnyard Wine and Spirits (OUT OF BUSINESS)

THIS PLACE IS CLOSED FOR BUSINESS! Read about it on here yesterday and went there for the first time only to find that it is closed down. Do not know if they have relocated or not. But they ain’t here no more. Phone is disconnected.

Good selection, cramped store, friendly staff. Go on Wednesday for the 15% off all micros and imports. A good place to find some hidden, dusty, gems. No single selection.

For MD this place is great. Better selection than most. Great service. Hard to move around in. Packed to the gills with beer. If you’re used to PA or VA stores you might be dissapointed. CA beers are very lacking. No Alesmith, Stone, or Mad River. No Bells either. But that’s MD for ya. If it’s an east coast beer they problably have it.

Good selection of local beers, but I am not sure why this place is so well liked. Okay seleciton of foreign beers, but most looked like they had gone through war and then left out in a dust storm. I would not go out of my way to shop here.

My "ambience" rating contains a large dose of irony. The place is literally a basement of an actual barn, unbelievably cramped and very dusty. Cramped for a good reason--there is a ton of beer inside. The folks are great, especially after you’ve made a few visits. The 15 rating for selection is simply because I believe that they have every beer (or 95%) that is legally available in Maryland. The only downside to this (as with every "we have everything" liquor store, like Wells or State Line) is that they can’t sell every beer before it gets old. On the other hand, it doesn’t take much to discover what is old and what is new--dusty bottles and date labels provides evidence, and the price tags on the bottles tell you when they received the beer (or at least the last time they repriced it). This place is a lot of fun, with personality to spare. Easily the best selection in Anne Arundel County.

Had a good selection of 6 packs. Singles left a lot to be desired, but at least they were dated on price stickers. You did have to blow the dust off some of them though. Small, cramped, not the easiest place to shop, but about the only place in Glen Burnie w/any Micro selection at all. I wouldn’t make a special trip here, I would go to Corridor in Laurel first, but you can stop here to pick up something if you are in the area.

I almost needed to change my boxers after going here. HUGE selection. A bit pricy but a good place to go on Wednesdays (15% off micros and imports). If you are in AA county this is the place to go for beer.

A shining beacon in the beer wasteland that is Glen Burnie. They do have a pretty decent selection, just look out for those with a thick coat o’dust on em. People working there are pretty friendly and have an opinion or two. The singles currently available are scary out of date brews and those you really don’t want. The snowball and pitbeef stand adjacent are pretty good to tide you over when you spend the entire lunch hour driving down to the Burn to find the joint.

So many beers, I just wish I had thousands of dollars so I could get everything I haven’t yet had. Definitely worth a stop if you’re within 25 miles of the place.

Without this place, I’d be lost. They have a great selection, and the staff there are always willing to help. Lots of Belgians, great American micros, and they get new stuff in all the time. Its a bit cramped, and the decor isn’t fancy, but if it’s beer you’re after, this place is great.
