    That place is highly, highly overrated...a lot of old beer on the shelves....this spring (As in May) they just got in Tyranena Painted Ladies as one of their new beers they were excited about (I tried to point out it was about six months old already but I don't think they believed me)...they are the only place with Surly but that is hit or miss on if they actually have it in stock...they probably have the best selection but I am constantly checking dates on bottles there..they never clear out anything that is getting dated...

    Noel's and Northern Liquor are other options with some decent offerings...(Deschuttes, Bells, Schells, Summit, Leech Lake, Anchor, and others that are commonish)...

    In the Park Rapids area it is about the same....Dorsett Liqour is ok and the Liqour store in PR along 34 kind of across from Dairy Queen is OK.

    If by chance you are coming up through Brainerd I would stock up there....Cashwise would be my suggestion there for the best prices and freshest beer....they close out most everything that is close to dated so you can feel relatively secure in the beers on their shelves....West Side has about the same selection but a much bigger store and maybe a few more things....higher prices though...either one would blow away anything in the Bemidji/Park Rapids area for selection..
