Ryan and Casey Liquors

Nice selection. Service is friendly, but not especially knowledgeable.

Visited for the first time today and duly impressed. I picked up Founders, Great Divide, Southern Tier, Stone and Victory top 50 beers that I was missing. Also added 6 new countries. Just like a normal ordinary liquour store with a ridiculous selection.

DO not miss this place if you are anywhere within 30 minutes’ drive. Best part: Open 8 AM through 11 PM. Perhaps the reviews are not recent enough. This place has beer and hard liquor stacked everywhere, still easy to find. with a hard working, very helpful, assertive service, boy I wish this was close to home. Lots of stuff not available in the other stores I had gone through, both local, and imports. Prices were a bit bitter on everything. They just want your business. Very easy to find. And close to The People’s Pint. --

Ditto to what OldGrowth said. Solid, solid New England selection, with a People’s Pint that I’d missed and one of Geary’s new anniversary beers, among other goodies. Prices seemed pretty good; they had Rochefort 10 in quantity for 5.50 which would have been too good to pass up if I didn’t have a bunch at home; nice if small selection of Belgians overall. Good Scotch and Bourbon selections as well, this place definitely seems more focused on quality than quantity which I must admit surprises me in a working class rusty old town like this. Certainly not as impressive as a couple of stores in Northampton or Amherst a few minutes away, but this is still worth the listing for being the closest good store to SW Vermont or SE New Hampshire.

Several aisles of beer. A nice selection of good New England beer including Southern Tier and Thomas Hooker. No real rarities outside of the new england arena.

Finally got a chance to swing by. What a great place. Mid size stand alone building. I walked in the side door so I bumped into the beer right away, if you go in the front head toward the back. They fit alot of stuff in here. Logically laid out. Met Pete and Chris, He’s the owner, she’s the manager (sorry if I spelled that wrong Chris, had to guess) Pete’s owned the place for 30+ years and told me how it’s grown over the years, they couldn’t expand if they wanted to at this point. They took time to talk with me and tossed in a couple glases. They were extremely nice to me. All the New England stuff, Wachusett, Magic Hat, Offshore, Coastal Extreme’s six packs, Smuttynose, McNeills, for example. Dogfish Head, Stone, Avery, Bear Republic, Rogue, Victory, Great Divide off the top of my head, with the plus of People’s Pint 22oz. All the Berkshire line up, I found Newport porter here, that I haven’t found in central mass. Saw Long Trail doublebag in 22oz. Nice Belgian and Euro selection. Rochefort, La Caracole, Rodenbach, Cantillon. BMC is pushed to the back, Only a few doors. They will let you take a single form the six pack. You’re bound to find something good here.
