7-11 - Kittery

Reviewed from notes, but basically reiterating what everyone else said. I figure if I assist in saying the same thing everyone before me is saying, well, enough people are going to realize that despite being a 7/11, it’s more than just a gas station. Good value for the area. Selection is outstanding. I would go back when in the area but probably wouldn’t make a special trip.

Stopped here today for the first time after Tributary. It doesn’t look like much, but they have quite the quality selection of craft beers in this tiny store. Not huge in the way of volume, but what looks like a well thought out selection of beer. I walked out with a couple of almanac sours, some Maine brews I’d never heard of and some enjoy by/after. Really attentive manager owner or beer guy helped me out. Food is convenience fare and pricing seemed about right. The selection is not big enough to go out of your way to get here, but if your here you should stop. I know I will again.

Someone told me this 7-11 had a good selection of craft beer and I thought he was crazy. Turns out they do! Worth a stop!

This took me totally by surprise! I used to come here years ago to buy Sam Adams after the NH stores had closed, but I hadn’t been back in years. WOW! This place has improved! They have an impressive selection of top-quality craft brews from around the world -- everything from hoppy DIPAs from some excellent breweries to vintage barleywines and intense Belgian rarities. Don’t let the gas station vibe put you off or fool you -- this place is worth a trip if you’re in the area!

This was actually a bit of a surprise to me. It is your typical 7/11 convenience store but they actually had a decent variety of craft beers I had not seen. SoMe for example. A tad expensive. You can also pick up hot dogs, snacks, other convenience store stuff. If you buy a mixed 6 pack they give you a 5% discount.

Best 7-Eleven ever! The manager is a beer guy and he gets in a great selection of beers. Good mix of local, US craft, and imports. Regularly updates Facebook with new releases, and will occasionally hold beers. Just picked up a bottle of Sapping Mammoth that he held for me. Thanks!

Jason is the current beer manger of this store. Given the amount of space he has in a small corner of a 7-11, he packs it with top tier craft beer. The selection took me by surprise the first time I checked it out. He also is a friendly guy and loves beer and the products he is selling. Based on the size I would not say to make a special trip to visit BUT… if you are in Kittery it pretty much is a must look. Take a look above of what I got over the course of time.

Good craft selection. They have a craft brewer that works there part time helping them out.
