Narrow shop is only 4 aisles wide, but those extend about 60 feet deep.
Giant L shaped cooler goes from front left along the side and turns the corner to divide up the retail store front from the back room area.
The cooler is very mixed up and not really in much of a coherent order-- bombers, 750s, 6/4 packs, 12 packs, cans, bottles, wine, ciders, beer, malternatives, 40 oz bottles etc.
Prices are close to Binnys on most items, but I see lots of beer's that are $1-$2 more than I'm used to paying. Of course this sort of setup has its advantages; I found an entire case of Devil Damcer on the shelves. Even some Juliet, clutch dark sour, and Frangellic Mountain brown can still be found here.
My favorite thing about this shop-- buy 6 bombers/750s, get 10% off.
This sort of deal has been around for wine lovers or years-- it's high time we see it more often for beer!
Not a bad shop at all-- if I lived around here, I'd stop in regularly.

Random fly-by, address was in the gps somehow, so we decided to drop in. Strip mall location, next to a European market.
Inside is the checkout right by the door, and a spirit tasting in progress on the right side. Long spirits aisles on the right block off the cooler doors along the left side wall. It's not a huge store, but once you make it down the beer aisle, the scope of the selection becomes apparent. The long aisle facing the coolers is all craft, bombers and 750's on top, and sixers along the bottom. Towards the end of the aisle is a mix-a-six section with a few dozen options. Lots to choose from in the coolers also, one door devoted to bombers was nice to see. 5 or so FFF bombers including Blackheart, Black Sun Stout, and Brian Boru. Seasonals like Expedition, Dirty Old Man, and Nomad. New to the market: Uncommon Brewers Siamese, Three Heads Java Porter and Bromigo, several Clown Shoes, DFH 75, Art of Darkness, Dark Horse Tres, Fixed Gear, plus a number of other seasonals (Daly Double?!).
Service was great, a beer guy stopped by to chat and was very knowledgeable. He was able to point out what was new and was on point with recommendations. I got the feeling that they bring in lots of seasonals and limited stuff, and keep on top of it. Worth stopping in often if you're local.
