De Fles Winkel

Nice, little shop tucked away in a shopping center. Clean and easy to walk around inside of the shop with a fairly good selection. Good showing of eastern Virginia beers. The guy working the counter really knew his stuff and was a pleasure to get to chat beer with. 12 taps on hand for filling growlers, though no consumption on site allowed due to licensing. Will be a regular visit when I get to Richmond.

L: This is a little store tucked into a shopping center (that seems to be where a lot of bottle shops are these days). It's not particularly big, but it's tastefully done and has a good floor plan (mostly separated into American and international beers), with a small section of wine.

Q: The quality looked to be pretty top notch. Nothing stale here.

S: The service was very friendly and informative; he definitely knew his stuff.

S: Not the biggest selection ever, but a thoughtful one. A lot - but not all - of the beers are Belgian styles. There's a smattering of local / state breweries (Center of the Universe, Alewerks), national (The Bruery, Jackie O's), and foreign (Delirium, Dupont). They have a nice growler station with 12 taps (mostly local / state stuff). If there's a complaint I have it's that they need more single bottles for sale; this is a minor quibble.

Small shop, but focused on the eccentric hard to find offerings, specifically sours. Knowledgeable staff, go check this place out if you want to find a sour or strong ale that has been avoiding you

 

 

 

Decent selection and variety. Small number of taps but like the variety. Need to offer more single bottles for purchase than they do. Mostly 6 packs and bombers here.
