On the plus side, MD liquor stores are much nicer than the drab state-run liquor stores where I lived before. The down side is you have to make a special stop to buy beer or wine. Before moving to MD, I could buy them at a grocery or convenience store while I was doing my other shopping. I can't say the prices were much different.

I can understand why it's set up this way. The state doesn't want to be in the business of selling alcohol. Liquor stores wouldn't get nearly as many customers if beer/wine was available everywhere. So that's what we're stuck with.

The OP asked about Calvert. Why bring up Anne Arundel?

It is an inconvenience, and if they permitted it in other retails outlets like Costco and BJ's it would be much cheaper.
