    A small store in one corner near the entrance/exit to the terminal, right next to the elevator to…read morethe Maple Leaf Lounge. It offers wines, beers and spirits from local producers in Nova Scotia. Wine is the predominant product on offer, but there is enough to cater to all tastes. Staff area wonderful pleasant and helpful, quick to offer guidance, but also to step back and let you be if you're just browsing. I've bought numerous items from here over the years, some better than others, so if you don't know the winery or brewery, it can be hit & miss, but to be fair, often that's part of the fun and experience of trying something new. If you do buy multiple bottles of wine, they have solid cardboard carriers for you which will offer a little bit of protection on your flight.

    On my way up to Ottawa to see my wife, I saw that Liquid Assets had opened since I was at the…read moreairport in April, selling Nova Scotian-made adult beverages. This lovely shop is located just past security, and predominantly features a cool map of Nova Scotia on one wall, with about a dozen local products mounted on the wall and pointing out where they came from. It's a nice touch that brings home where these delicious libations are from, although it does take up half of their wall space, so I'm conflicted between the cool factor and having more selection. While wine takes up the largest portion of shelf space, there is still a good amount of craft beer, as well as spirits and a few ciders as well. The staff member was really friendly and knowledgeable, and I ended up getting a bottle of wine and a couple bottles of cider, all of which were wrapped up in paper to protect them in their carry-on travels. It's not a duty-free shop, so any flyer can purchase their wares. Liquid Assets is a fantastic idea that will add value to the burgeoning local alcohol industries, and enhances the airport as a whole. If YHZ can get a good restaurant, they'll be set!

    Much like the NSLC located by the Superstore on the other side of Portland Street, this location is…read morenice, shiny and new. It seems a bit smaller than the other, but is always beautiful on the inside and stocked with one of the wider selections in Dartmouth (especially compared to the ancient-by-comparison store on the Forest Hills Parkway). The staff is friendly and accommodating, usually with one or two people working the floor specifically to make sure customers find what they're looking for - a welcome change compared to other store policies of "we'll help you, but you have to find us first."

    OK - for full disclosure - I am old - at least 1/2 way through any expectation for a long happy…read morelife. So "in my day" buying liquor involved going up to a small caged window and whispering a request to a unseen clerk who would slip back an unseen bottle in a brown bag. But today things are quite different. Take my experience at the Tacoma Street NSLC - where I was greeted by a Budweiser girl, offering me a nice cold beer that she had just pored - especially for me! How could I refuse - something about a big special promotion for a football game coming up soon;-) Well there is nothing like a Bud girl and free beer to put me in the mood for shopping. And this is a great store to buy the essentials for the SuperBowl. Its large, spacious, well laid out. Today there was a centre display with some good wines on sale - again "in my day" there were no such thing as sales on booze. There was a sales person who pleasantly offered assistance regarding single malt scotch - and other NSLC offerings. There's lots of parking, although it was very busy today with people making their way in and out of the adjoining grocery store. I left with all hands and arms full of supplies that I hope will last beyond the big game. I will also take with me a great feeling about this store, the great service - and the hope that every time I shop there, there will be a Bud girl with a cold beer to great me.

It's not a huge store, but they have a nice selection of what I assume are some good wines, mostly higher-end liquors, and a nice little niche that they seem to be carving out in the craft beer market, which is more of my bag. They have a couple racks and coolers of the many great beer offerings from around Nova Scotia, as well as regional ones like Picaroons and Dieu du Ciel. I just want to buy them all and stock my own beer fridge! The kicker though is the great idea that they had to offer growlers of beer for brewers that are located outside of the city and are unable to do so here. When I was there on Super Bowl Sunday they had their own RockHead pale ale (made by Garrison I believe), Butcher's Block Red and Hippie Dippie Pale Ale from Tatamagouche Brewing, and Boxing Rock's Vicar's Cross double IPA. Deposit on the growler bottles is $7, and re-fills seem to range from $10-$15, both plus tax. This is a fantastic addition to the neighbourhood, especially since this is in my go-to grocery store. I'm looking forward to quenching my thirst with RockHead's delicious offerings.
