    Here in the Philly burbs, I would be remiss not to mention Capone's. They've been at it for a long time. Great bottle shop. Great draft events, particularly Black Friday every year with a ton of rare barrel aged stuff.

    Inquiring minds would like to know the name of the shop, given the title of the thread and all...

    i found out about the place--cough cough, Hillcrest Beverage in Spring Valley--from a review about it on here. It's been open about 3 years and I never new it was there.

    Went in and spoke to the owner, Al, who couldn't have been nicer. He told me he's hoping to put in tap lines to do growler fills at some point.

    Very good selection--not as much as Cable or G & G, but his location doesn't have the demand as the other 2 stores mentioned does.

    If you haven't been there, check it out.

    When traveling through Iowa it was always a stop to get Iowa exclusive beers.

    Locally Westside Liquor in St Cloud and their main store in Waite Park are my go to places. Sometimes Coborns Liquor has been really good. Found BA darkness at one, I also found Surly #Merica there first locally.

    I always stop there when I'm in town. My brother is going to freshman orientation soon, and I'm tempted to tag along just to go there.

    Otherwise, my local picks are:
    - Gomer's Lee's Summit
    - Plaza Liquor
    - Hy-Vee Grocery Store (for quick beer runs, and some surprising pick ups from time to time)

    State Line Liquors in Maryland has the most.. by far. But it is far. I get there about once a month.

    Total Wine just south of Wilmington is doable if I'm in the area.

    Busch's Fresh Food Market. They are conveniently located for me, that is my main reason. They also have a decent selection and most of their beer is in a large walk-in cooler.

    A couple opened a fine wine and beer store in a sketchy neighborhood, a block from my house, and it may pay off.

    Downtown Crown Wine and Beer in Gaithersburg, it's on my way home from work. Great staff overall, welcoming environment, and best selection in Montgomery County. They have a bar with a Digital Pour screen with about 20-22 rotating taps and hold events for special releases and other beer celebrations (i.e. Founders coming to MD, MD beer week, etc.).

    I'm in Norfolk, VA. My go-to's are the TW on 21st, bottleBOX a couple blocks over, and occasionally exceptionALE, which happens to be right in the middle.

    If I ever get out to VA Beach (usually once a month or so), it's Grape and Gourmet followed by the TW at Hilltop. I've never been to Mix It Up but I've heard good things.
