K&S Liquor

 

 

A pretty good selection for Mount Pleasant and a lot of singles. A huge downside is how old some beer is. I've noticed 2+ year old beer on the shelf and it's hoppy beer. Why is this still on the shelf and why isn't it removed or heavily discounted? I won't buy a beer from here if it doesn't have a date on the bottle. A good side is that I can usually count on them to have singles of new releases just in case I don't want to commit to a six pack.

Edit: After I've had more experience with this store I'm raising the rating from 3.5 to 4.25. They have had everything I've looked for so far. If I call or stop in for a beer they don't have they will take my name down and call me if they get it in. The old beer problem remains but I just get stuff I know has recently come out. Almost every brewery uses bottle/can dating now so I just check that to be sure. Very friendly as well.

 

One of several craft stores in town -- K&S makes up for in service what they lack in selection. The employees are friendly, and they'll call distributors to try to get you something if they don't have it (which is often). The prices are slightly jacked, as they are everywhere in this town, but it's not enough to make for an unpleasant experience.

There is definitely a problem with stale beer, however. Things tend to sit on the shelves for over a year, including hopped beers, without being touched. There's no effort to discount these beers or make the customer aware that they're potentially spoiled. It's frustrating.
