86 /100 Grape Expectations (Beer Store) 156 HARTFORD AVE Small, but with surprisingly robust selection. Owner is very knowledgeable and happy to talk beer. Seen today: broad range of Founders & Opa Opa, Mikkeller (Beer Geek Breakfast, yum), Lion Stout, Harpoon Island Creek Oyster Stout, Hoppin’ Frog, Dogfish Head (World Wide Stout), and Berkshire Brewing Co. Beer Advocate labels for some of the less well known (not HERE, but in general). |
74 /100 Grape Expectations (Beer Store) 156 HARTFORD AVE I am really starting to like this place. It has only been open for about a year now and I have seen it progress into a serviceable craft beer store. When it first opened I went in and laughed that they had a craft brews sign but now I can stop in and pick up some great beers from an expanding selection. This place is definitely a work in progress and I will come back a re-rate down the line but it’s worth the drop in if your in the area. Recently they had some Port Old Viscosity and 2nd anniversary, Southern Tier Crème Brule and Pumking, Rodenbach, Duchesse De Bourgogne, Chimay, St Bernardus, Orval, Rochefort, Ommegang and St Bernardus. The owner is extremely nice and easy to talk with and will do her best if you have any special request. I am already working on trying to get them to carry some other favorites (Founders, Lost Abbey, etc…). |
