We try to stock all of the popular brands of domestic beers, microbrews, and import beers. We are not your upscale "hotsy totsy" kind of a beer and wine store. We are more like a comfortable pair of shoes, with a few holes for ventilation. In other words, we are your quintessential neighborhood beer and wine store, where it's not uncommon to see customers pop in wearing almost anything. We try to stick to the basics of running a good beer and wine store; plenty of inventory on hand at prices you can afford. And, since you're in the mood to read, here's a few fun facts about beer. Beer is the world's oldest and most widely consumed alcoholic beverage, and the third most popular drink overall after water and tea. Today, the brewing industry is a global business, consisting of several dominant multi-national companies and many thousands of smaller producers ranging from Brewpubs to regional breweries. More than 35 billion gallons of beer are sold every year, producing total global revenues in excess of $300 billion dollars. Now that's truly a lot of beer.

And, lastly...you should try searching for beer by entering a few that you know, and let Google "sets" do the rest of the work. http://labs.google.com/sets Back to top

The store is owned and operated by a gentlemen known as Harry. Some people refer to Harry as the "goodwill ambassador for the Kentlands". For those of you who don't live in the Kentlands, it's one of those unique communities where people actually look each other in the eyes, and greet one another along the streets....much like back in the 50's and 60's. Well the same goes for the Main Street Beer and Wine. You always get a warm and friendly greeting from Harry, prior to "can I help you?". The Main Street Beer and Wine has a lot of regular customers. Harry greets most of his "regulars" by their first names, which quickly turns into a casual conversation. Most people walk out wondering why Harry is so happy. Ask around the Kentlands, and all you get is praise for Harry. I know that might sound strange, but maybe he's just grateful to have a beer and wine business in the Kentlands. Harry has been in the beer and wine business for over 10 years. In order to really understand people, you have to go back to their roots. Harry came from Bombay, India over 15 years ago. The recent movie Slumdog Millionaire was shot in the slums of Mumbai, India. Mumbai and Bombay are in fact one in the same. The name was changed in 1995. So imagine having a store in the Kentlands, and thinking back to your childhood in Bombay. That's like culture shock on steroids. Like we mentioned earlier, I don't think Harry has any intentions of heading back anytime soon. So I guess I'd be smiling too, if I came from a city in excess of 14 million people and settled into a charming community like the Kentlands. Back to top
