Candia Road Convenience

First off - it's a convenience store. The ambiance is nothing to write home about. The beer is also spread about haphazardly. Good news is that they have a great selection of local microbrews and some rarities. Plus, they make great sandwiches.

Worth checking out. Found some labels I can’t get in ME like Green Flash and Firestone Walker. Would go here again.

This is a convenience store whose owners have built their craft and regional beers for several years. The beer selection is quite good with most of what is available in New Hampshire and yes, you can mix and match from either the cooler of the shelves. Plenty of Belgians and well-known crafts such as Rogue, Dogfish Head, Smuttynose, Full Sail, and many more. Next to the store they have a home brew supplies shop as well as some of their own brews available later in 2011. They also carry cigars and plenty of convenience store snack food fare. A destination stop? Not necessarily but worth the visit if you are in Manchester, New Hampshire.

I’ve been to this store a few times, they have a really good selection of what is available in NH. They are probably the second best selection in Manchester behind North End Suprette. The store is really kind of small. They stack a lot on the floor, which really isnt a bad thing unless you need something from the bottom. They will let you buy singles from six packs at 2 dollars a piece or from four packs at 3 dollars a piece. Mix and match all you want. I have talked to the guy running the store in the morning and he is great in his beer knowledge, but when he leaves so does that level of beer service. The kids at night have no idea about anything beer related. They have a large selection of cigars as well. I’m not sure how that selection is, I don’t smoke ’em so they could have the Budweiser of cigars in stock I wouldn’t know. Not a bad store if you watch the freshness dates. Great selection.
