Yes. JD’S carries beer, wine, liquor, craft beer, ciders, mixers, kegs, specialty beverages, and more.

We stock more than 700 wines, more than 900 beers, and more than 30,000 total items throughout the store. Whether you are shopping for an everyday bottle, planning a party, or looking for something specific, we are happy to help.

You can call us, stop into the store, or use Maine’s statewide liquor product lookup system to check availability and pricing.

If you are looking for something specific, the easiest option is often to contact us directly. We can help you figure out whether the item is available, whether we have it in stock, or whether it may be possible to special order it.

Yes. If an item is available in the State of Maine, we will do our very best to get it for you.

We can help with special orders for liquor, wine, specialty beer, hard-to-find bottles, kegs, and other requested items when available. Call the store or stop in and let us know what you are looking for.

If you need a special order by a specific date, please give us at least two weeks’ notice.

That gives us time to find where the item comes from, confirm that it is in stock with the distributor, and work through the ordering process. We will always do our best, but availability is not guaranteed.

Yes. We can help you order kegs for parties, weddings, camp weekends, family gatherings, and events. However, we do not keep kegs on hand in the store.

Please call or stop in to ask about the keg you want at least two weeks prior to your event. We don’t keep kegs on hand regularly, and only stock them for customers on request.

Please give us at least two weeks’ notice for keg orders, as we do not normally carry them in the store.

Kegs need to be checked for availability before they are ordered. Once we confirm availability, you will need to come into the store and pay before the keg order is placed.

Bud Light, Budweiser, Miller Lite, and Coors Light are always available to be ordered. However, you must order two weeks in advance, as we do not normally carry these.

Specialty and seasonal beers must be checked for availability. If you have a specific beer in mind, call or stop in, and we will look into it for you.

Kegs generally come in two sizes.

A large keg is a 1/2 keg. A small keg may be a 1/4 keg or a 1/6 keg, depending on the distributor.

If you are not sure which size makes sense for your event, we can help you think through your guest count, drink preferences, and event type.

Yes. Kegs require a $30 deposit, which is returned once the keg is returned. Please keep in mind that you must order kegs two weeks in advance, as we do not normally carry kegs.

Yes. Tap rentals are available with a $60 deposit, which is returned once the tap is returned.

Please bring someone to help load the keg into your vehicle if you cannot safely lift it alone.

Half kegs are very heavy. We want customers to plan ahead so pickup is safe and easy.

You can call the store, stop in, or check JD’S current sales updates online.

If you are planning a larger order, party, wedding, or event, we can help you look at current specials and compare budget-friendly options.

Hand-counting helps us process returns carefully and maintain a personal level of service. Larger returns may take more time, especially during busy periods.

Yes, if the organization has already set up a bottle drive with JD’S.

Once a bottle drive is set up, supporters can dedicate eligible bottle and can returns to that organization.

The organization simply needs to call or stop by JD’S to set up the drive.

Once the drive is active, the organization is responsible for promoting it to its own supporters. JD’s does not promote one bottle drive over another, but we make the redemption side simple and easy to use.
