Very weird to find high-end local craft brews in the midst of Bollywood…read more Hidden next to Staples and a Dollar Tree in an otherwise nondescript strip mall is a treasure trove of amazing Connecticut beers. Even the name Empire Wine and Liquor is somewhat of a misnomer; while it definitely does stock wine and liquor, offerings are undistinguishable from its competitors - anyone can buy Barefoot moscato or Captain Morgan's rum anywhere. Despite this, and the very unusual Indian/Bollywood music playing at a solid tilt over the air, the powers-that-be made the great decision to stock some terrific local brews in the beer fridges - this is the eighteen-bucks-a-four-pack level of brew. These include limited releases such as the Two Juicy Unfiltered Double IPA from Two Roads Brewing Company (Stratford, CT), which can hold it's own against its more renowned Massachusetts or Maine competitors. Though the following is an unfounded assumption, it seems unlikely that the cashier on my particular Sunday morning could describe the many beers to me; I wonder who makes the beer sourcing decisions at Empire?

First of all, it's notably more expensive than its myriad local competitors. More to the point, though, on each of the multiple occasions that I've been there, the cashier (who I believe is also the owner) has been unhelpful at best and actively hostile at worst. On one occasion he berated me for making him stay late when I was there a full half hour before closing time and told me that I shouldn't come if I didn't know what I wanted ahead of time. Every time I've visited the store he's made me feel uncomfortable, and as such he'll be getting what he wanted, as I won't be coming back.
