Cork 57 Beer & Wine

Good store in a pinch. Selection is deece but I did not compose a letter to my mom about it. The ambiance is nice (which is what we all look for in a beer store, right?) and the dude there is nice, but I would like to be able to mixed sixer everything. Prices fairly standard.

Local beer store. Have a good selection of beers, including nice ones from Belgium and USA. Bit miffed that several are past their sell by dates. Prices also quite high there. But decent selection nonetheless.

Stopped in here randomly, two parking spots out front but a free lot adjoining that looks like it is for the car dealership. Apparently this is part of the same empire of Beer Wine & Co. / Food Wine & Co. which equates to hilarious prices that were evident in about 1 minute after stepping in. $19 six packs of not fresh Nugget Nectar, $17 six packs of Perpetual IPA. Lots of singles like Stone Espresso RIS, Sublimely Self Righteous, 120 Minute. Other decent six packs like Raging Bitch. Still, prices were ridiculous and half did not even have prices on them. I guess so you would be rung out and then stiffen in shock and not be able to decline. Scroll past.

Jam packed place. Mostly wine, but the beer selection is decent enough. prices are high, though. And they’re not always open during opening hours.

Visited on a Friday afternoon. Small but pretty and well organized store. The employees were kind. Selection was very good for the size of the place (50/50 beer and wine) and they obviously knew what to stock, there really wasn’t much crap there. The prices however, were pretty outrageous on anything that wasn’t an everyday 6-pack. They have a selection of really nice bottles (they still had bourbon rasputin and bourbon old stock for example) but the prices were just crazy on those. I left with two bottles, one of which I found for almost the same price in a bar a few hours later.

Wonderful selection. Pricing is pretty fair I think for the quality you are getting. They are always polite and friendly The owner unfortunately is not well versed in beer, but knows a great deal about wine. They do have another employee who however has pretty extensive knowledge of beers, and is there most days. Really glad to see a store with good craft beers in Bethesda. It’s about time!
