On my return trip home from Groveland, MA for the Thanksgiving holiday I asked my sister to make a pit stop in Greenfield, thankfully she did. This place looks tiny from the street, but you walk in and it goes on forever. I had to walk through the walls of liquor and wine to get to the good stuff. Pretty much any New England brew you can dream of is here. What I liked was the Berkshire Brewing Co. and People's Pint bombers. Surprised to see Port/Lost Abbey and Founders. Very nice selection of imported beers. My main goal was to pick up some Imperial Stout Trooper, and I did just that. Three of them for $7 each was a bit steep, but worth it. I also picked up some St. Ambroise Oatmeal Stout, damn glad I did too. The guy at the counter was quite happy to be working there, but who wouldn't? After my first drop off at the counter he warned me that some bottles may be empty once I came back, I knew he was just foolin' but for some reason I had to second guess myself. I only spent about $75, but easily could have dropped three times as much. Definitely glad I stopped. Friendly people and great selection. I will be coming back here for sure.

I had heard about this place from a friend. I happened to be spending time in Keene, NH so decided to jut off to Greenfield to check out this place. When I first stepped in, I was automatically blown away. The selection is very hard to describe. There are so many beers that one cannot find in Vermont on the shelves. I was blown away by how many coolers they dedicated solely to craft beers.

The service was exceptional and I found that for $35, I got 2 six packs of beer, 5 individual 12oz bottles of various beers and 1 bomber. I was shocked at how reasonable the prices were when compared to liquor stores in Vermont.

I will definitely be coming back here in the future.

Since Table and Vine closed up shop in Noho, I have been coming here on a regular basis to pick up the more obscure beers that are not available to me locally in VT.

They have a great selection of Stone products, as well as a really nice assortment of Belgian beers. This place is top notch, stacked floor to ceiling with craft beer.

My in-laws live in Greenfield so I usually fit in a stop at Ryan and Casey's when we go to visit them. I sure am glad that I got turned onto this place because it really beats driving down to Springfield.

They have Sunday hours which is a plus.

Attention fellow BAs: DO not miss this place if you are anywhere within 30 minutes' drive. Best part: Open 8 AM through 11 PM. Perhaps the reviews are not recent enough. This place has beer and hard liquor stacked everywhere, still easy to find. with a hard working, very helpful, assertive service, boy I wish this was close to home. Lots of stuff not available in the other stores I had gone through, both local, and imports. Prices were a bit bitter on everything. They just want your business. Very easy to find. And close to The People's Pint.

Stopped in this last weekend while attending the International beer fest held in thier parking lot.
Smallish place with a good mix of imports and domestics. All the Peoples Pints bottles as well as Berkshires are well represented and in coolers. Imports are opposites the coolers, and seemed a little heavy on the Belgians. (we like)
Pricing ranges from a buck per 22oz bottle more than some places to average on sixers. Look around though, there are some bargains to be had...
The elderly gentleman at the counter was very friendly and approachable. Other than that there was no service to speak of, but in all fairness, they were probably all prepping for the fest.
We met Casey at the fest and she seemed real nice.
All around good place run by good people.
recommended.

A wonderful little packy in Greenfield. Without a doubt the best selection in the area, not including places in Amherst and Northampton. Wide range of New England favorites, mini-macros (Harpoon, SA) all types, Mid-Atlantic, and West Coast. Cleverly set up from right to left in the refrigerators. Nice selection of bombers and growlers. And of course, tons of macro swill.

They will order anything you want, as long as it's legal in the state. They are a bit pricey, but sometimes you can get a deal. IMO, they carry Smuttynose Big Beer Series for 3.60 a bottle!

An added bonus, they host the Green river Brew Festival in the fall! Last year was the first year and it was a big success.

Stopped in while having a few minutes to waste, checked it all out. For what looks like a teensy package store from the street is actually pretty impressive. Skinny building, but goes very deep. Beer is in the back left quadrant. Plenty of attentive help at the ready to answer questions, but not pushing at you. Superb cross-section of brews. Locals are in growlers, bombers, 6-packs, probably almost a third of the beer they sell is refrigerated. Depth across the board, plenty of Belgians, US micros from far and wide as well. Examples are plenty of Berkshire, People's Pint, Paper City, Opa Opa, but also saw Sunday River and New England cans, Geary's Anniv and Yulesmith bombers, the list goes on and on.

They don't have everything, but for Greenfield, they done good. Check it out if in the area.

Only a block or two from the must check out, the People's Pint, this packy is worth a stop. The brew are all in the rear, in a bunch of coolers, nicely displayed in the middle and also on shelving accross from the coolers. Selection is quite worthwhile, lots of Brit. imports, regionals, good variety and selection of the local micros. The full line of the found everywhere in the area, Berkshere Brewing co.brews, including growlers. You will find worthwhile beer in this store, nice town to visit, friendly staff.
