    Depending on exact location, all three will have more or less similar selections. Acme probably the best for mix 6. Heinen's does them too but I've never been super impressed by what they break out into singles. People here can probably give you an exact recommendation if you give some info on exactly where you'll be around town. A lot of stops along 77 between Akron/CLE

    First - thanks for the answer, since that at least gives me general info on what the stores offer. I'll be staying near the Stow/Hudson border, so the stores I'm looking at are the Heinen's and Fresh Market in Hudson or the Giant Eagle on Norton Road in Stow.

    Just an update, since I posted questions last year on this thread and never responded. As it turns out, I didn't get to try much beer on that trip but I recently visited family in that area again last week.

    I found 101 Bottles in Kent to be a really great stop, as they had excellent beers on tap as well as a really good selection of packaged beer (even including a nice mix-a-six option). I also got to try Fat Heads in Middleburg Heights and it really lived up to its reputation (really excellent beers and huge food portions). The local Giant Eagle and Acme grocery stores in Stow had better than expected 6 pack selections with a lot of really fresh stuff from Fat Heads, Brew Kettle, Columbus, Platform, and Masthead.

    On the next trip I'll definitely try to hit up the Brew Kettle taproom in Hudson and maybe try to get over to MadCap or Missing Mountain. I drove right by both of them at different points. Thanks for all of the recommendations from last year, folks!
