Worth the 45 minute drive for me.

Nice place if a bit warehousey, nice people, gigantic selection. if you’re not from the area, prepare for drooling and eye-popping as you traverse the aisles of this place. But the prices, oh man the prices, especially for singles, are pretty high. At least they aren’t bashful about it, and it is the best shop in the area for sure.

This place has everything but be prepard to get gouged on the hard to find stuff. Some of it is marked up $20 to $30 more than most places for the rare stuff. $50 for Brooklyn Black Ops? No thanks.

Fantastic store with plentiful shelves dedicated to beer. Staff roam the floors and are always willing to answer questions or help you find what you’re looking for. Selection and variety are top-notch. Large store which also has a great scotch, port, and wine selection.

A great place to find bombers or try some new brews. The staff has always been helpful and willing to offer suggestions. A good wine and scotch selection also.

This is like the Disney World of liquor stores. Every bit of space is used to house a phenomenal beer selection, all grouped nicely by region. Around every corner is a helpful, friendly and smiling staff person looking to help you find more for your cart. This is a once a week stop for me (as long as the budget allows).

A fantastic find located just a couple minutes off 95, about 10 miles south of Baltimore. Nestled in a shopping center with some big box stores, this is a cramped and cozy space that seems to have a slightly larger percentage of wine than beer - BUT, it’s a large well-stuffed store so there is a massive amount of excellent beer to had, so much so that it’s not far behind State Line. Tons of Belgians and Scandinavians (a vast selection of Mikkeler, for example). Especially noteworthy were the Cantillons. In terms of US craft, there’s a fuckton of Stillwater, Duclaw, Brewer’s Art, Southmapton, Sixpoint, and on and on and on. Fantastic service too. Looking forward to the next visit.

Ambiance: Well-lit, extremely organized (almost obsessively), lousy muzak. Service: Outstanding. Staff was friendly and clearly knowledgeable about beer. Seemed to have some wine experts too. Even the cashiers were nice. Selection: Probably second only to State Line Liquors in Maryland. Saw a ton of stuff here I’d never seen anywhere else, and quite a bit of the stuff I’ve gotten from the Rare Beer Club over the years as well. All countries and states seem to be represented. Food: NA. Value: Pretty darn good, especially when you compare it to some of the bottle shops in and around DC. Overall: Clearly the best bottle shop in Maryland. Yeah, State Line might have a little larger selection, but this place is cleaner, better organized, more centrally-located, and there wasn’t a mullet to be seen. Worth a trip. Pair it with the nearby Kloby’s Smokehouse for some post-shopping barbecue (and they have 20 rotating taps, too).

One of the best bottle shops in the country. Fantastic ambiance. Very clean and well organized. It’s very popular so the stock looks to be well organized. Also quantity doesn’t seem to be an issue. They had a tremendous amount of seasonals as well as local and international crafts. I’ve never seen so many varieties of Mikeller in my life.

Good selection here and helpful staff. Organization is a bit confusing - they separate 12 and 22/750s so a single brewery’s products are in multiple locations. Thats a minor quibble though. There was a ton of great stuff on the shelves and the staff repeatedly asked if I needed help with anything while I was browsing. I’ll certainly stop here next time I’m driving through.
