Plus our selection of the typical convenience store items including; soft drinks, juices, bottled water, ice cream, chips, snacks, cigarettes, & candy bars. If you're feeling lucky, we are also a Maryland Lottery Agent...so you can pick your numbers, grab some scratchers, or purchase a Mega Millions or Powerball ticket! And, if you've blown all your cash on lottery tickets or beer and wine, we also have an ATM machine on the premises. We would like to think that our warm friendly service is embraced by the community, and is appreciated by everybody. The owner, Harry has come a very long way and has no intentions of going back anytime soon. This may be the reason for his extremely cheerful behavior. It's either that or he's doing a little too much wine tasting in his spare time. |

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. This is a very good resource for further information about beer: http://www.google.com/Top/Recreation/Food/Drink/Beer/ Here's another way to look at beer, using Google squared, http://www.google.com/squared/search?q=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 |
