Another packy on my weekly route. Place really has a great selection of Craft and Imports, but there's a massive downside to it. Not only is there no organization of their American Craft section, but they don't price tag anything. I mean, they'll ring up a price check for you, but I shouldn't have to look any further than the package to tell how much I'm going to pay for the beer I want to buy. The exception is their singles cooler. Not labelled either, but their pounders and stovepipes are all very reasonably priced. Not so much for the cold 4-packs right next to them, but the loose pounders/stovepipes are a safe bet once you get to the register.

I have been very impressed with their selection, especially for a small place. As you walk in there are many Craft/ Micro brews available that you see immediately.Sometimes they are hard to get to but the sales associate is always willing to help me out, and move the cases to allow me to get the case I want.And then from there the store has other great selections and usually specials. They do have domestics, and other imports as well. I like how they are grouped together, and there is a no pressure approach where I felt comfortable to be able to look around on my own with out being bothered unless I wanted to. In addition mostly everything on the floor is also available cold too.And they were okay with me going into the Cooler to look for myself. Bonus there was no extra charge for Cold Beer.

Every time I had questions they were very helpful and they were even able to order me some beers on special order that they did not carry. It almost seemed as if they would go out of their way to make me feel important. I do remember going there one time when the store was actually closed (by like 5 minutes) and the sales associate let me in to get my beer- and quite frankly saved our evening.

They have a very knowlegeable staff, and they have samples from time to time. They also seem to have everything I need for a party from the beer, to taps, cups, ice, tubs, some soda, and even ping pong balls...Yes I said Ping pong balls... I was searching all night to find them one night for beer pong, and sure enough they had them there. I think it is a great place, and I will definately be returning soon.

I really enjoy shopping here. I have always had excellent service. The guy that works there is always friendly and he is extremely knowledgeable about all beer types. They have a great selection of beer, especially crafts and they always have something at all price points on sale. They also do quite a bit of samplings at the store of lots of craft and local brews usually on weekends. As a female shopper, I especially like the attention to detail in the store layout. It is clean, neat and easy to shop by brand. The beer is grouped by brewery and the imports by region. The best part is they always offer to carry my beer out to my car for me!
