Pearl Street Beverage

Nothing really special, Don’t bother going in after 9:30 on a Friday or Saturday, lines galore! Us college kids need to get our beer some place. Plan accordingly. I prefer the Beverage Warehouse in Winooski! Much better selection and more of a variety. Prices are real good too!

I concur with the others, not really worth the trip. Staff who couldn’t care less about you, I remember this one time the checkout girl was babbling on her cell phone and didn’t even say hello or thank you or anything. Overpriced and dubious-looking imports, they may have one or two bombers of Rogue or something else that Winooski’s Beverage Warehouse might have sold out, but other than for that reason, I’d pass. The only reason we did stop is because we drove by and had time to kill.

Not worth the time or effort. They don’t get anything spectacular here and they don’t carry McNeills. The selection isn’t terribly bad, but everything they sell can be found at Winooski Beverage Depot and it’s usually cheaper there anyway.

I don’t have much to add to what Chazy said. No McNeills is the biggest fault...the only brewery really worth it in the state, and they don’t have them. And the lousy (read: nonexistant) service. More singles available than there used to be, but so what? Winooski Beverage and City Market pretty much cover the Burlington area, this is a distant third. UPDATE August 13 2005: Visited tonite and was disappointed to see a lot of winter 12-packs left over from last year, few summer beers from this year. Obviously, take extra care in looking at dates here...

Typical beverage center/vermont liquor store. Parking is average, with some off street parking. Staff really doesn’t care what you are doing. They have a decent selection of Vermont beer, except McNeills. Some other Belgians and some German beer also. They have a cooler with some of these singles chilling out, and also a shelf with warm selections. They have large selection of 12 packs and also some 6 packs. Also the macros are well represented here. Vermont as an ABV law, so no real big beers available. Would I go back? Maybe not.
