This place probably has the best beer selection in Willimantic (for a package store) as long as you…read moredon't mind the jacked-up prices, and the need to look at the "best by" dates. They carry harder to find beer (Dogfish Head 120 min, NEBCo's Gandhi-bot, etc) behind the check-out counter at unreasonably high costs. I found some great beer there, only to notice that the "best by" date was about six months earlier.

I know it's a college based area but if you're that untrustworthy of your customers get security cameras or whatever but don't make your customers feel uncomfortable and unwelcome. We were so annoyed with every move we made she was eyeing us that we ended up not looking at anything else and left with just that one bottle.

Yankee Spirits is a wine & spirits store that opened in Sturbridge, Massachusetts in 1971. The…read moreliquor superstore is one of the largest in New England and carries a wide selection of wine, spirits, beer, hard cider, and mead at very competitive prices. As of 2026, there are additional locations in Attleboro, Norwood, and Swansea. I recently made a trip to Yankee Spirits while I was passing through the Sturbridge area. I have visited before, but this was my first visit in about six years or so. They have an absolutely enormous selection of alcoholic beverages, but I was only interested in exploring their very impressive selection of craft beer. I don't make it to this area very often, so I was most looking forward to see if they carried anything that's either hard to find or just totally unavailable in my home area of New Haven, Connecticut. I spent maybe a half hour just walking down the aisles and seeing what all of the options were. Afterwards, I was ready to begin shopping. I ended up purchasing a pretty sizable haul which should keep my refrigerator full for a while. Most of the beers I grabbed were rare barrel-aged stouts, but I also picked out a few IPAs and other various styles that no longer get distribution in my home area. If you're looking for a serious selection of excellent craft beer, wine, or spirts in New England then look no further than Yankee Spirits!

I don't even know why I bother going anywhere else for libations. Seriously every time I come here…read moreI say that. They have EVERYTHING. An obscure cider brand from Michigan you tried once on a vacation? Not only do they have it they have a variety from that same brand. Want a wine you can only describe in flavor and maybe to e color of the label? They got someone that can hunt it down for you. Don't know how to host a tasting event? They created the PhD on the subject. It's actually not a good place if you get overwhelmed easily as the store has about 800% inventory at all times and they span from the basics to absolute top shelf temp/humidly controlled storage for basically anything you can drink. Staff is so helpful they make shopping pleasant - I went in looking for Marsala wine to make a chicken dish and after talking to a wine person there I had 3 more dish ideas and left with something completely different than Marsala wine - and it was incredible. Perfect recommendation. The most selection of liquor , the largest variety of cider and microbrews and a staggering selection of wine, again I can't see a reason to go elsewhere anymore.

I was specially looking for a certain beer and when I couldn't find it I almost gave up and walked out. Just then Charlie approached me and asked if he could help me find something. I told him they didn't have what I was looking for. He then walked back with me and helped me find the beer I was looking for in a variety pack, which was actually better. He was so friendly and also carded me and said I looked much younger than my real age so he gets bonus points for that! Glad I didn't give up and will be back just to give Charlie more business.
