One of my two favorite spots to find BAs favorite listings. Recently purchased by Big Y which owns Table and Vine in Northampton. Excellent selection of domestic and imported as well as local offerings (Paper City, Berkshire Brewing, Hylands). No problem with breaking up six packs either, so on a single visit you can get a good variety to sample. Oustanding wine selection for those so inclined. Conveniently located off of Route 91 and Mass Pike.

This is my favorite haunt, and it has only been improved by the sale to BigY (Table & Vine). Before, the selection was okay and one of the best in the area, but it was still limited. Now, I walk up and down the aisles looking around for new treasures as often as I can. They have also just begun an expansion project that is centered around their food offereing, but one can only hope the beer section will exapnd as well.
The selection of Belgian beers is now the best I have even seen (in my limited experiences, of course) with all types of single bottles available and a good selection of 4 & 6 packs. I try to pick up a new one every time I go, which is once or twice a month. If I went more, I'd have problems paying the mortgage.
Their selection of german beers was always pretty good but even that has greatly improved. The choices of Wiess biers is substantial and I was very happy to see the addition of a few of Erdinger, Mahr's Bräu and Maisel styles recently.
The "problem" is that I never can buy as many different beers as I want to try. The selection from all countries is great, including American micros. I'm not sure if I'll ever get around to trying that Estonian beer, not when I can get another Samuel Smith's.

First of all as a follow up, Town and Country has recently been bought out by Big Y, I expect it will soon bear the name Table and Vine, though the excellent selection should not change much. I visited the store today on my way to the New England BBQ Championships at the Harppon Brewery, to stock up for a while. This store has an amazing selection of domestic micros as well as imports. A lot of hard to find beers there, I had to restrain myself on purchases there. They routinely carry all of the Stone and Rogue beers, special bews from almost all East Coast breweries, and a little bit of everything from here and there. Highly recommended, very helpful staff too if you're looking for something special.

I drove up here from CT based on a tip from BA Boto that the selection was good, and I was blown away. They had the hard-to-find styles of familiar brewers, plus beers I had never seen before, and some beers I had never even heard of. The beer manager was helpful and knowledgeable, and the prices were better than average. I ended up going on a little spree and filled up two cases worth of singles.
