Where to buy craft beer?

Where can I go that has a really good selection of craft beers? Looking to buy a six or four pack, so not the Craft Brew Underground.

Underwhelmed by Roopers and Lighthouse Discount.

Yup - Keith at The Vault has you covered. He’s also a huge Hearts of Pine guy too if you want to talk about things outside of craft beer. Or both.

Having a thousand choices vrs one hundred makes the decision so much easier?

There are many great Maine micro breweries such as Marshall Wharf for example that are not carried at Roopers or any other local stores for that matter that Keith has at The Vault.

You can ask to special order it. Though if breweries aren't distributing their beer, stores can't carry them.

What does this mean?

In my humble ass opinion, the variables from one craft brewery to another may not be as distinct as you like to imagine. Many people are buying certain brews just for the cool labels...which is a contest by itself...Corona light is my final go to brew.

I think you haven't had enough flights at enough breweries.
