I love that Hops and Vine exists. Being centrally located, it's always convenient to stop in when…read moreI'm in Gorham. There is plenty of parking as well which is a must when you're buying heavy, liquid filled cans and bottles. First off, they carry a lot of local beer and spirits which is critical because it's the best. Second, they have one of those cool walk in refrigerators, if you're into the domestic stuff. Third, you can special order a lot of stuff directly through their distributor. I did this over the summer with Oxbow Surf Melon hose because I couldn't find the beer anywhere and wasn't willing to go to Oxbow itself. They put the order in and called a week or so later when they had it in the shop for me. I went in, paid and was out the door. SO good to know you can do that! To finish off, the biggest lesson I've learned is NOT to drive into Portland to buy new flavors of seltzer at Apres because Hops and Vine will have it! I always go out of my way to go to Portland to get the newest Apres and then end up at Hopes and Vine soon after and kick myself when I see the special flavor I drove to Portland for.

They will help you with a smile. They will answer questions for you with a smile. Bottom line, they smile and I love that. If you think you know what you might like, just start listing adjectives and they will make amazing recommendations. They also understand the patterns of beer releases. For example if there is a stout you remember as being amazing and you know the name, they will most like know when or if it will be released again. The beers have a great amount of labeling with helpful details, especially if you aren't familiar with a particular brewer or style of beer. But again, don't hesitate to ask if you have additional questions. Social Media - I love the beer tastings!!! They bring pretty great brewers here - They announce new and / or rare beers being sold Parking - meh -small lot that fills quickly during rare beer releases. With that being said, if you don't mind parallel parking on Forest Ave, there is plenty of short term parallel parking on the street and it is easy parallel parking (i.e. pull right up to the curb). I highly recommend this location but please leave some good beer for me. :)

Welcome to the craft beer cage death match. If you are looking for a beer that you can enter into…read morethe fighting competition this is the place to go. You say you do not know much about beer? Well then let me point out one such fellow "Greg"(store owner) and ask him. Looking for a sour lambic, what about a smokey, bacon-y rauchbeir,maybe a solid hefeweizen would win. My point is there are just so many different beers here that it would beseech you to try more than just the regular. The shop is large and very open. Shelves with plenty of beer and in the back, coolers of beer already chilled. You can get also get small kegs of stuff like Oxbow. A great deal that he offers as well is discounts on mix and matching beers for 4 packs and 6 packs and if you sign up for the email list he will track the amount that you purchase. Once you reach a 100 dollars he will give you back a 5% off. You can spend it then or you can wait and save them up so you could get 10%, 15%, or 20%. A nice thank you to the customer. They do a lot of beer tastings during the week and they have great music playing as well. The biggest knock on the place is the small and awkward parking lot which can get very tight. Plus, where it is located you have to be traveling North on forest ave to get to it. Stop by, say hi to Greg if he is working, get a six pack and sign up your email. Be prepared for enter the craft beer death match!

I usually grab 2 cartons and 4 packs for each of us some job papers and we're set for the week. Today we had run into friends when we pulled up and I ran across to grab butts and the cashier (extremely nice) said no packs this week. It surprised me cuz I'm in there for under 5 minutes once a week and there a pretty busy store with lots of customers but she remembered what I usually get that's home town service. If you're a local or from away visiting or vacationing stop by and grab your cigarettes here. You'll save money and be glad you did

Don't be deceived by the business park, as you drive in, it's actually nice to go somewhere more off the beaten path. When I went in, I wasn't expecting how nice the dispensary looks. It's white, not cluttered with a beautiful marble counter.Make sure to bring cash, if you forget, there's an ATM inside. I was greeted but the owner, Mike. He showed me some things I mentioned I liked (gummies, and pretzels) and I also bought Wilshire Madison Blueberry Cloud Cured Sauce. Long name, but nice cart!
