This store is top notch all round. The ambiance is set beautifully with gorgeous flooring and elegant wine racks. The service level is incredible. I dealt with Andrew in the spirits section and he was extremely knowledgeable. Tom in beer knows his stuff, too. Their selection of gourmet foods from around the world is second to none. Although some items are priced a little higher than other places, one can quickly realize its because they keep such an extensive selection of products on hand. Their variety more than makes up for an extra fifty cents for a six pack. This is the only place I go to buy my beer.

Nice, clean, well-kept store. Selection is excellent for the area; they carry just about everything you can find in Massachusetts. Nice import selection as well as domestic. Many local craft beers too. Quite a few singles, especially the imports, and they will sell singles out of the six-packs on the shelves, usually for $2-3 each for a good beer. I go here often and the service is quite helpful, even when the store is busy. The employees love their bees as much as anyone else and are willing to tell all. Prices are decent. Overall, easily the best beer store in western MA.

Excellent gourmet store in general. Upon entering this place looks like a gourmet food market of sizable proportions, much like a whole foods. I actually enjoyed meandering my way back to the beer section (which occupies four entire supermarket rows!!! I found a great selection of American micros, as well as a decent array of foreign brews. For someone currently residing in CT like myself, it was a welcomed sight to see Lost Abbey, Port, Hoppin Frog, Moylan’s, Left Hand and founders to go along with the usual NE selection. My only knock is that there didn’t appear to be anything truly rare or hard to get, outside of standard state distribution constraints.

I tried to refrain from assigning a numerical review to this place since my opinion is inherently biased as an employee. Despite this bias, I still love this place as it really helped start me out on my own personal beer odyssey. Although I had always enjoyed tasty local brews instead of nasty macros, but working here has really been a great opportunity to fine-tune my knowlege of and palate for great beer. Although many people complain about the Big Y buy-out, many good things have come from it as well. For instance, Big Y’s presense has allowed for the store to be rennovated in order to provide a much nicer and more functional decor. Also their greater buying power is in integral part of making hard-to-find beers available in the Western Mass. area, and without this you can kiss your Founder’s Breakfast Stouts, SA Chocolate Bock’s (for $15), and Green Flash’s goodbye. Also I would like to note that the store’s ownership or employees do not determine the configuration of the cooler, that distin

WOW! This place ROCKS! I was driving up to VT and stopped by the COSTCO nearby to buy another cooler that can hold two 1/6 barrel kegs. It was early morning and COSTCO wasn’t open yet. I am so glad I found this place as this is the best beer store I have ever been to. They had two maybe three full “grocery store sized” aisles just of beer, including the largest selections of Belgiums I had ever seen. Next was the largest section of Crafts I had ever seen. So many beers from some really small New England breweries. It was hard not to spend $300…but I tried. The folks working were so nice. I met Steve the store manager who was extremely helpful. I was having car problems as my Jeep’s Car Alarm kept going off for no reason. They staff was helpful not because it was their job. They were helpful because they wanted to be. GREAT HOURS TOO! M-Thurs. 8:30am – 10pm Fri & Sat. 8:30am – 11pm Sunday Noon – 6pm Just off I-91 1119 Riverdale Road, Route 5, West Springfield MA 01089 (413) 736.4694

This store is massive in size with the best selection in the area. Anything that you can get at other western, MA stores you can get hear plus more. they no longer carry alesmith which is a disapointment, but nobody in western, ma does anymore, because of distribution issues. They do however have a decent selection of southampton, stone, avery, DFH, and they just got Boris the crusher. As for belgian brew they have Roch 10, ST B 12, and Achel to name a few.

My favorite shop by far. Has changed since Big Y bought it, but overall for the good. Well worth the hour car ride.

They have now officially changed their name to Table and Vine. A great selection of beers from all over the US and the world. They even have Lost Abbey and Alesmith bees as part of their stock. I usually go up there every couple of months and stock up!

This is one of the best places to buy micros, macros, imports, and generally hard to find beers. Prices are pretty reasonable. There are a lot of beers here I have never seen anyplace else in New England. I visit this place at least once or twice a year. Worth the trip. I give this a very high rating
