When you walk…read morein you see the main liquor & wine area (good size) and the chilled section at the back, but if you turn to the right you'll be rewarded with a craft beer area! You can wander through and find craft beer from across the Maritimes, Quebec and Ontario - maybe even further afield. Most of it was chilled in fridges, but at the end there were taps and an employee who could fill growlers and was knowledgeable about the flavours and specifics of the different craft beer. I walked out with lots of new local craft beer and ciders to try that I don't see available in Nova Scotia. I would definitely go back. They provide shopping cards, baskets and those baskets you can drag behind you to carry your products around the store. The fact that they renovated the old train station makes it extra special. There is tons of parking and the Crosstown trail runs alongside it, so you could easily walk or bike there too. (I forget if there was bike parking though.) I would definitely go back and would recommend this location.

The duty free store here offers liquor, tobacco, beer, jewelry, watches, Swiss Army knives, fragrances, snacks, candy, Canada souvenirs, collectibles, apparel, and other gifts. The selection here is better than the Duty Free Americas in nearby Houlton ME and the prices are pretty good. They carry cases of Moosehead Canadian Beer and my favorite Canadian Maple Fudge, woo-hoo!! The currency exchange counter offers competitive exchange rates to the banks in the Woodstock area. The Go Food counter offers beverages, cereals, baked goods, sandwiches, and ice cream bars. This store caters to travelers heading west from Canada into the US. If you are a US citizen, you have to declare your purchases here when you reenter the US. Okay so I just entered Canada from the US and NEEDED CANADIAN MONEY!!! What do I do next with my US MONEY??? Instead of trying to find a bank in Woodstock, NB, I got off at the first exit and headed back west on Highway 95 towards the US border so I could visit the Maritime Exchange to exchange my US Dollars to Canadian Dollars and Loonies. However, I exited the travel plaza and had to cross the highway and GO THROUGH CANADIAN CUSTOMS AGAIN. I told the agent I had entered Canada about 45 minutes before and I just visited the westbound store to exchange currency only. I was grilled a bit and let through again. I knew I was not allowed to purchase duty free items from the store since I was not going back to the US. Bummer man, because this store had some really cool sh-t! But I did find the same products in the local stores. I had to pay the 13% HST for my Canadian Maple Fudge candies, but I couldn't resist.

Picaroon's Brewtique is an amazing beer store…read more Why? Because: a) Cheap bear. Basically, it is 10$ for 1,89L of craft beer. Basically 10$, because, at the first buy, you need to buy a growler at 10$. If 1,89L is too much, 500 mL beer bottles await you in the cooler next to the counter. b) The variety. A good selection of craft beers that can please almost anyone. You don't like IPA? Here, have a blonde or a dark and so on. c) The staff: beer-lovers selling beer to beer-lovers.

You can save a lot of $$$ on the liquor and cigarettes. The candy prices are pretty good: 2 large Toblerone Chocolate bars (2 for $3) and assorted cream filled cookies from Sweden ($1 each). You are allowed to buy items here only if you are heading into Canada from the US. The cashier will ask for your name and vehicle license plate number for tracking purposes. If you are a US citizen, you have to declare your purchases here when you reenter the US. I only wish that this duty free store on the US side offered currency exchange like the Atlantic Travel Centre (duty free store) on the Canadian side does. I had to go through some hoops to exchange my US Dollars to Canadian money and loonies.
