This place is alright. A decent wide selection of imports, regionals and some national micro brands. I did find a rather old bottle of Harpoon Kellerbier here (from the 100 Barrel series). The prices were decent, the store spartan, and the clerks drunk on gin. I would swing by here again to see what’s still hangin’ on the shelves or what comes by. Worth a stop, if you’re in the area. *Most important: you can snag a single of anything. Dig around and pull a single out of any six pack. The people that work here are really laid back.

Thorpes is the place to go for suds in Rhode Island. Sadly, Rhode Island laws limit beer availability- given that caveat, Thorpes provides an excellent selection of brews from New England, the US and from around the world. Head to the right and the back for unique suds.

Overall the best selection of bombers and US micro’s in northern RI. They have also added some international brews as well, but with that of course the price goes up. Small, but this is definately more of a beer/wine store (if you want liquor you will pay signifcantly more than other RI liquor stores.)

This place has a nice beer section in the rear of the store. They have lots of cases of new england micros. They don’t really have any foreign beers, though. They were selling 6-packs of 3 Floyds there, though. I thought it was totally cool to find that. Other than that, it’s a decent beer sote. I don’t think they do singles either. Sam Adams utopia was there for $120---re-reate 6/23/06...this place has improved big time. They now have specialty singles in bombers as well as bombers of 3Fs like Dreadnaught (they were sold out ehrn I was there). They also dramatically improved their foreign selection. Without a doubt, the best place for beer in all of RHode Island. I did find it weird that they didn’t carry Stone, but they still had a few ciders, plenty of sakes, and some weird stuff like Magic Hat Chaotic Chemistry..

Pretty good selection, worth the drive from South County for a few things Wakefield Liquors doesn’t carry, such as Bellevue and Westmalle.
