The Perfect Pour

I've been here a few times and it seems to get better each visit. Tons of beer (they claim 1,200 different brews) and it seems to me you can do a single of anything they have. Lots of local and regional brews with some of the better national brands, too. The growler station had some real nice options, too. service was right where I needed it. Plenty of staff who asked to help me if I needed it but I was just browsing so they left me alone. A really great bottle shop.

Craft beer store in a strip mall near a Trader Joes. People are raving about this place in the reviews, so I guess I should assume that the area sucks, because I was not super impressed. Bombers pressed into the top two shelves of a row of shelving units in the back. International selection behind you. 3/4 of the space is multi packs, although as noted in several reviews you can break packs and buy singles, which is pretty nice and apparently unusual here. They have a refrigerated section but don't use it wisely at all; mostly multipack macros. They have cases and cases of IPAs sitting on the floor at room temperature. Almost no IPA bottles and the few they have are on shelves at room temperature. Otherwise the selection is indeed good; lots of Wicked Weed which is interesting and likely has a lot to do with their recent purchase. No whales to be speared here. Prices seemed decent.

Great craftbeer store (liquor store actually with lots of great wine and liquor choices too) in Columbia just SW of Baltimore on the way to DC (not far off I95). Been visiting friends in Columbia for years and for some reason didn’t know this place was close by (it will be a regular stop now for sure). Not only does this place have a great craftbeer selection...but they seem to be popular enough to have a good turnover of their beers...which is great for a hop lover like me, Additionally they have a 12 tap growler filling station with some very nice choices...mostly locals and regionals with a couple of nationals. The staff is great and asks to help without being prompted. When I saw a bottle of Rogue Yellow Snow (a favorite of mine) that I know is released once/year around late November to early December...I asked one of the staff what the deal was...had Rouge changed the release schedule on this or was it an old hoppy style beer with all the hops gone? He offered to look up the purchase date and returned with the answer that it was indeed an old bottle from last year’s release. That was very valuable information to me...and saved me from a disappointing purchase. I now also have a new place to pickup all my favorite Union Craft beers when passing thru. Perfect Pour is a must stop destination for all craftbeer lovers in the area and driving the I95 corridor.

Visited on Sun Mar 13. What a great place. Huge selection. Singles, 6 packs, cases. Lots of rare and hard to find bottles. South of Baltimore on the way to Washington. If you are driving by you need to stop in.

Excellent, excellent place. Thanks Travlr for the recommendation! One of the best beer shops I have ever been to. It is a bit out of the way but they have lots and lots of beer, from all over the world, and it is very nicely laid out. Staff very friendly, efficient. Pricing seemed much better than what I pay closer to DC. And you can break 4/6 packs into singles. Which is wonderful, especially for this area.

Great store! Wish it was a little closer and more accessible to D.C. Stopped in here on my way back from Patuxent a while back. Great selection of Belgian and German stuff, with lots of other world beer. The U.S. stuff isn’t quite as well stocked, but still very good. Friendly staff. Spent a long time in here looking stuff up. You can buy singles of almost everything.

Solid shop with a great big selection. Some things a bit overpriced. Nice service.

Huge beer store with a great selection. A few drafts for growlers. A must-stop detour between DC and Baltimore.

Thank goodness this shop is 15 minutes from my house, any closer and I’d be broke and/or un a 12-step program. Joking aside, this is a great place; huge selection of craft beer from around the region, the country, and the world. They have lots of quality wine and whisky too. They have regular tasting and giveaways (on the weekends usually) and even the occasional live band playing. In the past year or two they added a large growler station and always have hard-to-find brews on tap. My only criticism would be that the mark-up on single bottles is higher than most retailers. In their defense, any six pack can be separated into a single bottle or mix six-pack, which most places in the area don’t allow. Just expect to pay ~$20 for your mix-six-pack. Long live The Perfect Pour.
