As far as liquor stores go, i think it's safe to say as long as they have the essentials and it's…read moreclean you pretty much have your bases covered. What made this one stand out to me though is that it had exactly what I was looking for. I had been searching for a specific rum all over CT now that not even total wine had (and they have everything) so I was pleasantly surprised when i found it. Even more so by how friendly the guy behind the counter was, he said if there was anything I ever wanted all I had to do was ask and he could get it for me, and that is exactly the type of customer service you can expect at this place. The layout itself is really nice, very well kept and clean, if you need cash theres an atm, and theres a bag policy too so make sure not to bring in a big bag unless you want to leave it at the counter. There's also a website and app for added convenience, and they host events sometimes too. Truly a one stop shop for all your liquor needs, specialty or otherwise.

First and foremost, this store is very nice and I'll have to take pictures the next time I'm there…read moresince there aren't many on here! I've visited Capital Spirits a couple of times since they're pretty much the only liquor store Downtown (jazz fest, Pratt events, etc). Last night I was on Pratt to watch the Yard Goats game and we decided to go inside. The staff was super friendly and helpful, even when there was some indecisive minds in my group. I was able to find some pretty affordable sake, and the cashier even suggested some new and popular wines that they have, which I thought was nice.

Anyways, I wouldn't usually write a review for a package store but compared to the competition right down the road in both directions they are $1 to $1.75 cheaper for a 12 pack of beer. Why would you not stop in here if you are in the area. The staff is always helpful as well.

This place is absolutely phenomenal. We contracted with them to provide beer/wine/liquor (for the…read morebartenders to serve) at our wedding, as a way to cut our cost. I am SO glad we did. Everyone on staff is friendly, personable, and goes above and beyond the call of even superior customer service to be helpful. Due to the proximity of the event venue, they provided us with convenient & free delivery (do you know how RARE this is? And if you are planning a wedding, it's an absolute necessity.) Craig, the owner, helped me pick out a great selection based around my budget. They also allow you to return what you don't consume for a refund. Overall, they provide a fantastically convenient and professional service for event planners in Glastonbury & the area. I have also been to the shop itself a few times - I can't tell you how accommodating this cozy little place is. I'd been rushing around making my wedding plans, and by the time I stopped there for a gift I had to pee like Seabiscuit - they totally do NOT have a public resty but welcomed me to use it, just the same. They were setting up for their busier hours (Sat hours) and a wine tasting, plus they were also sampling a special new Tequila (I mentioned to Tom, the sales Mngr. on staff at the time, who graciously offered me a nice big pour - very tasty to sip.) I wound up taking home a nice bottle of wine for me. Such a great little hidden gem. I'll go there from now on whenever I'm in the area. Great for a recommendation if you don't know what to get someone.

Especially for someone who likes cider and wine, the Meade has a nice, refreshing flavor. The different flavor nodes of the honey make it sweeter and not bitter (personal preference).

Bergen House is a craft meadery that opened in Middletown, Connecticut in September 2020. It was…read morefounded by army veteran Talon Bergen. He first began experimenting with homebrewing when his brother-in-law gifted him a Mr. Beer kit. The first batch of Bergen's homebrew was awful, but the kit came with an interesting book that he read over and over again. He soon became fascinated with the science behind brewing and fermentation. Later on, a friend gifted him a bottle of homemade mead. Bergen's wife Emilie liked it much more than any beer she ever tried, so he decided to try his hand at crafting mead. Mead is a fermented beverage made from a mixture of honey, water and yeast. It is the oldest fermented beverage known to man (predating beer, wine and cider). Like his first batch of beer, Bergen's first batch of mead was also awful. After several months, Bergen finally began making mead that was drinkable. The Bergens later had an idea to open their own brewery. After seeing how many breweries that Connecticut already had, they instead decided to open a meadery. The Bergens found a space in Middletown's old trolley barn building to house their meadery and taproom. Although not the state's only meadery, Bergen House is the only one to have its own taproom for on-site consumption. I recently visited Bergen House for the first time after going for a long bike ride on the nearby Air Line State Park Trail. I was greeted by Emilie Bergen who was very friendly and talked to me about the different meads. There were eight different meads on tap during my visit. Each one has different spices and fruits added for flavoring. I ordered a sampler flight which featured "Crime Scene" (Rye Bourbon Barrel-Aged Sweet & Sour Cherry Mead), "Local Buzz" (Dry Mead made with local honey from Hilltop Apiaries), "Wally" (Off-Dry Mead made with wildflower honey, green tea and Citra hops), and "Grapefruit Meads Business" (Wildflower Mead flavored with rosemary, grapefruit & ginger). The latter two were my favorites! Emilie also gave me a small sample of "Bochet": a traditional French Mead made with wildflower honey caramelized before fermentation. I ended up taking home a growlito of "Wally", which tasted a lot like a honey-infused New England IPA. I had a great experience at Bergen House and I look forward to returning!
