    Wondering where some really good places to go for a create your own 6 pack? The best one I have found is actually the piggly wiggly right by me. They are above a lot of others because they are always cycling in seasonal and special releases. Binnys Beverage Depot started doing it 2 years ago and for their selection it is pretty poor. Piggly Wiggly has more options as far as Seasonals. Now my complaint is that the Piggly Wiggly has a large seasonal section but mostly only Wisconsin local breweries. Anyone know of any great places for the create your own 6 pack?

    Ridgeview Liquors in Green Bay actually has an awesome singles and mix selection -- almost any 12 oz in the store!

    Woodmans seems to always have a good pick a 6 selection. I know the one in oak creek is pretty solid. (as a store in general as well)

    Really in wilmot? Wouldnt suspect that town even having a liquor store with any decent craft beer selection.

    Breeze Thru Wine & Spirits on 112 and Blue Mound Road in Milwaukee has a pretty good singles collection - all in the fridge so it's cold.

    Highland Park Binny's in IL for make your own 6 packs. If you want a really good bottle shop, but no mix your own 6 packs, there is one in Antioch on the corner of 83 and 173 that is fantastic.

    You should call there first. Ive been there a bunch of times and I dont think they have a make your own 6 pack section. I could be wrong but I dont remember ever seeing one.

    Cheers,

    Woodman's, Metcalfs Sentry, and Steve's Liquor in Madison all have many singles to choose from.

    I think it's relatively new. I make it there every few months and noticed it for the first time on my most recent trip. It's not very externsive...Probably about 50 to choose from with the majority being standard NG and other WI brews. I wouldn't go there for just the mix six, but if you're already there for something else (killer price on the 2 hearted mini-keg in my case), it's a nice bonus.

    Bonus points if you catch the owner while he is in the store

    Are you him because I have to say that in my opinon a liquor store should be open at noon on a friday no matter where it is located. I drove out and they were closed so I went out to Antioch and hit up their very nice selection. I will still attempt going back but some other time.
