I LOVE Highland Package Store! Â The owner is adorable and very knowledgable. Â You can find answers here to questions regarding wine, craft beer, hookahs, cigars, liquors, etc. Â This is the spot to purchase hookah tobacco, as they have all flavors. Â My favorite remains rose. Â
Highland Package also sales two of my stand-bys: Â vanilla clove cigars and absinth. Â They usually carry three brands of absinth and various flavors of cloves. Â The craft beer selection is expansive, so do spend a bit of time picking your brew. Â The wine selection is pretty good too. Â They carry some reds that I've yet to see elsewhere in town. Â
The shop is sits right beside Taj India - this makes Highland a must stop spot for a hookah after dinner! Â Locally owned, reputable and offering a diversity of beer, wine and tobacco, Highland Package Store is definitely a 5 star business!
If you are looking for the best beer selection in town, Highland Package is your place. There are so many options, I usually find myself pacing back and forth trying to decide what to get for much longer than I should. It all looks good!
The store is divided down the middle with beer on the left and wine and liquor on the right. I mainly stick to the beer side. They have about 50 beers on tap which they sell in quart, half gallon and gallon sizes. The rest of the beer inventory is a hodge podge of six packs ranging from more affordable stuff to pricey imports and craft beer. Recently, the state law has changed so they've added 22 oz beers, furthering their already vast selection.
The two owners are really nice and have worked hard to make Highland Package a stand out establishment. There is also a cigar & hookah bar, accessed from the back alley, operated by the same guys. A really cool, hidden locale in Birmingham. My only criticism is that finding a parking spot can be next to impossible. I usually have to park way down 11th Ct.
