The liquor control laws do vary by county in the State of Maryland. Montgomery County and Wicomico County have county run liquor stores, and in MoCo, all beer/wine stores, restaurants, anyone who sells alcohol in the county HAS to purchase straight from the County. So if there is a new wine or booze out there, you can't just find a distributor to get it from. And if the county doesn't have it, you're SOL. Also in Montgomery County, there is a weird law that allows a chain that has a certain amount of stores within the county to sell beer/wine at one of their locations. The Magruders in Gaithersburg, The Shoppers in Germantown, a Giant Food in White Oak, 7-11 near Georgia and Connecticut are able to sell beer/wine in their locations while the rest of the stores cannot.

In Frederick County, beer/wine/liquor is sold at liquor stores for the most part. No grocery stores have beer/wine for sale that I know of. Some convenience stores sell beer and wine, but not all. There is an awesome liquor store in Frederick (Ye Olde Spirit Shoppe) that has a ton of rare and virtually unheard of beer, and does all keg purchases by special order, so if you can think it and they have a distributor for it, you can buy it.
